Durham University Film and Media Scoring Society

DUFAMS are a society focused on composing music for film and other media, from the inception of ideas to the practicalities of writing and recording. Throughout the year the group will be running various sessions including watching films and analysing their music, workshops on composing using notation software/DAWS, and analysing and critiquing other members' music to help each other improve. DUFAMS also hopes to collaborate with other societies throughout the year, such as hosting live recording sessions and working on original short films. Whether you're a budding composer or just someone interested in music and/or films and other media, DUFAMS will certainly have something for you!
