Sound Theory and Practice 1

Listening skills, basic sound theory, microphone selection and recording theory are the building blocks to understanding the effective use of sound in film and television. This course helps the student to realize the technical and creative skills needed to integrate sound into the film and television production processes. Professional techniques used in the recording of quality sound for film and television production will be demonstrated and applied, and the relationship between sound and the other elements of film and television production will be examined. Students practise production sound recording on digital recorders, and sound edit on a non-linear video editing workstation.
