Overview of class

This course will build on the concepts and techniques taught in Intro to Sound Post-production. Advanced techniques in automation, bussing, editing, and mixing will be covered with an introduction to working in 5.1 surround sound. We'll look at examples from mainstream and independent narrative cinema. You will leave this course with the ability to route sound in Pro Tools, make your own sound design Pro Tools template, create unique sound effects and design for moving image.

Through lectures and discussions, in class workshops, creative sound design assignments, readings, technical training, and lab work, we'll expand our listening and technical abilities with sound for moving image.
