Production Sound for Directors

The importance of quality sound in a movie cannot be overstated.

Of particular interest to directors and independent filmmakers who want to understand the production and post-production workflow, this overview course covers such topics as the nature of sound and its aesthetics, microphone characteristics, the sound recording chain, budgeting and scheduling, and what can be fixed in post versus what can only be done during production.

Instruction includes equipment and listening demonstrations.

Many of the practical techniques presented are suitable for student productions.
