MFA 521 Screen Scoring III: Adaptive

Prerequisite

MFA 511

It could be argued that the future of genuinely innovative and ground-breaking music for the screen lies in music created for non-linear, interactive media such as video games, virtual reality (VR), and other forms of participatory entertainment. This music is potentially revolutionary because it is adaptive to dramatic/narrative contingencies created by player choice, and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) will only accelerate these adaptive capabilities. As a media composer of the future, you will need to be equally adept at handling both linear and nonlinear narratives. In this course, you will work with indie game developers at the Media Design School at Strayer and at other selected locations to create music for these adaptive, interactive experiences.  

This course is 4.5 credits.
