Film Soundtrack Challenge
The Worcester Music Festival has come together with The Worcestershire Film Festival to form an exciting new challenge : Film Soundtrack Challenge
Are you a Composer or like to create soundscapes?
Do you have ambitions to write for TV or Film?
Do you want to explore how sound/music can support moving image?
If so take part in this challenge.
We have placed four public domain film clips from classic films online
Your challenge is to create a soundtrack or soundscape to support one of these clips.
Any style is acceptable as long as the music/sound supports the narrative (story) of the film. Be as creative as you want. You can enter as an individual or as a group.
We want to hear original ideas rather than a collection of loops lifted off the web.
Most of all we want you to have fun creating your soundtrack.
The winning entries will be shown online and at a public screening in Worcestershire. Venue and Time (TBC) and will be included in the Worcestershire Film Festival that will be held in 2012.
Winners and entrants of this challenge will be considered for a second stage challenge. We plan to get film makers and musicians/sound artists to work together on projects in preparation for The Worcestershire Film Festival which will be held in 2012
Deadline for entries for the Film Soundtrack Challenge is Monday 15th August 2011
