Description

This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of recording sound for film and moving images. We will explore the vital role of the sound recordist in capturing clean dialogue and immersive environmental sounds. Through hands-on demonstrations and active participation, students will learn techniques to record high-quality sound, both on and off the film set, with available equipment while emphasizing the essential connection between sound and images. Class lessons will be supplemented with texts, films, and imageless soundscape screenings to bring the conceptual into the technical as we form our understanding of recorded sounds.
