COURSE DETAILS

A week-long course introducing the area of sound design for stage and screen, covering how music and sound effects are used to assist in the overall design and delivery of a project. A number of various tasks throughout the week such as working with a silent film and creating places and synopsis' with sound, allow you to be creative and learn the techniques and thought processes involved with delivering a sound design. The industry standard Pro Tools editing software is at the core of the course and techniques in Foley and ADR are also covered.
