Study a real AAA score, then write your own
In five video parts (4 hours 35 minutes), Jeff Broadbent breaks down his music for Call of Duty: Mobile.
You see how the melodies and motifs are built, the harmony under them, and what each orchestral section and synth layer is doing.
Then you hear how it all adds up to the sound of an action game, from sparse moments to full combat.
Then you put it to work.
You compose original music for an action game of your own design, from a one-minute main theme up to a full set: main theme, looping combat track, high-intensity finale, and stingers and transitions.
Every piece is mixed, mastered, and ready to drop into a game.
Five case-study parts and composition projects

What you need

To earn credit, you complete the course quizzes and composition projects, which are letter-graded.
