Guildhall EPM Film Music Portfolio
Hey! I am applying for Guildhall EPM Film Music Bmus course and I was wondering what things they want to see in the portfolio.
I have a symphonic film style piece which is mean to underscore the prologue of an imaginary film to do with J.R.R Tolkien's The Silmarillion
I also have a more contemporary feeling string trio piece which was live recorded.
And then i'm questioning whether to do an experimental sound-design and electronic based piece depicting some visual art I have designed to do with some literature about hypnosis or potentially making my own 2 minute short film and scoring that. Or both!
I also conduct a symphony orchestra
Got A in Music, Music Technology, an EPQ in Tolkien and a C in Philosophy (we don't talk about that horrendous exam).
I will also attach my website with music I have done for video games made by university students alongside my music technology aspects (e.g. running Gigs and doing the audio for in-ear monitoring systems.
I will happy send people my scores to have a look at if that would be helpful to judge my chances of getting in.
So would this be okay or would they rather see MP4 files with the film and regular, secured underscoring?
Secondly, I also really love production and music tech - would I get chances to work in that area often? I find it really fun and I'm not that bad I think
Hope this all makes sense 😅
Any discussion about this would be greatly appreciated))
