Description
This course covers key aspects of sound for the screen, including music, foley arts, and mixing sound over multiple tracks. This is not a course in composition but in working with layers of recorded sound to breath emotion and a sense of felt experience into moving images. Students will first study the early days of sound in film up through the contemporary innovations and theories of experts such as Michel Chion and Walter Murch. Students will set their own original sound beds and sound tracks to material that will be provided. Time will be spent, moreover, on developing the ear and instinct for sound as well as understanding the tools and concepts behind the mysterious alchemy of sound and screen.
