Meeting Info

Louis Hall 118: Wed 6:00PM - 8:50PM

Overview of class

This course will introduce students to the basic concepts and techniques of post-production sound.
We'll dive into the aesthetics of sound and image by considering moving image work from narrative,
documentary, and experimental genres, and discuss how sound can connect, oppose, amplify,
transform, or even replace the image. You'll get hands-on practice in the studio, recording Foley and
ADR, and learn technical skills in Pro Tools for editing, synching and mixing.
Through lectures and discussions, in class workshops, creative sound design assignments, readings,
technical training, and lab work, we'll hone our listening skills and build our perceptions of sound to
broaden the sonic worlds we're creating.

Learning Objectives

From this course, students will:
● Understand the post-production sound workflow for moving image
● Develop technical skills to edit, process, and mix audio using Pro Tools
