RTVF 120 - Sound Design for Film

Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring

This class will explore sound design from historical, technological, and practical perspectives. Students will screen examples of professional sound design to give students the opportunity to learn from the work of classic and contemporary filmmakers. Screenings will be related to developing their work through discussion, analysis, and consideration of technical and creative choices made by filmmakers to achieve their goals as storytellers. The course will introduce students to the tools of the sound designer through lectures and by participating in numerous exercises, quizzes, and projects. They will become experienced with the theory and profession of creating sound for a film from the conception stage, the recording and initial editing, and the final mix of their projects. By becoming familiar with and using the tools of the sound recordist/designer (microphones, recorders, pro-tools) in practical and creative ways, students will gain familiarity and confidence in the process that students will carry into their professional careers.
