“The Arts Connect” Conference Continues: Part XVIII – Alan Kaschub
October 21, 2009Workshop: Filmscoring Basics – by Charlie Johnson
Alan Kaschub
The workshop with Alan Kaschub married in a simple and functional way the arts disciplines of music and video production. GarageBand is a relatively simple program to get to know and with which to produce working products that reflect and embrace a student’s creative approach to problem solving. Whether taken as an individual assignment or part of a group project, the iMovie interaction with GarageBand allows students the opportunity to create their own musical accompaniment to whatever video visuals they might have in working process.
Most videographers will tell you that the most important part of a video is the soundtrack, and that without a well recorded and appropriately “synched” audio track, video loses the biggest part of itself.
Dan and Charlie (up to no good?)
We (Charlie and music colleague Dan Granholm at Mount Desert Island High School) are in hopes that we may get the opportunity to share with a group of students the techniques for shooting an exciting video sequence and then building a well matched and appropriate musical scoring for a particular visual sequence.
