Audio For Pictures

Often very subtle, the soundscapes in modern films, TV shows and videogames are remarkably complex. It takes a team of recording engineers, dialogue and sound effects editors, foley artists, music composers and editors, sound designers, and mixers to create an immersive world for audiences.

Through lab support, term projects and the analysis of feature films (in our 5.1 surround sound screening room) you’ll achieve all the skills and vocabulary necessary to assemble sounds and create aural environments. By amplifying dramatic tension, shaping audience response, and making on-screen events seem credible, you learn how to support both the moment-to-moment details of a film, and its structural elements.
