Sound for Film and Video explores sound design for film, with an emphasis on the relationship between sound and image. Students develop skills in sound acquisition, including location recording and microphone techniques, as well as finishing skills such as sound mixing on non-linear editing software. Alongside screenings, readings, and discussions, students build their own soundscapes by editing, manipulating, and layering sound. The course culminates in a final project in which students creatively explore the potential of sound to express narrative meaning in film. No prior experience is required.
