UPCOMING CLASS: SOUND DESIGN FOR FILM
In February 2025 I’ll be teaching Sound Design for Film at Film North. Looking forward!
What roles(s) does sound play in film? How does sound facilitate storytelling, establish mood, help in worldbuilding, and create meaning? This class investigates the purpose and function of sound design in film through demonstrations, discussion, and a hands-on project developed throughout the course.
We’ll discuss the standard elements integrated into film sound: dialog (production sound, ADR, walla, “futzed” dialog), FX (standard sound effects vs Foley), backgrounds, and music (both score and “in-scene” music). We’ll explore how these elements operate and interact. We’ll also create our own soundscapes using some sample footage provided by the instructor.
Lab work will take place in Adobe Audition on iMac computers. Bring headphones or earbuds for lab time, plus a hard drive or 32GB USB flash drive to back up course files.
