Film/Video Workshop II: Sound and Music for the Moving Image

Film/Video Workshop II: Sound and Music for the Moving Image is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies class taught by William Brand.

Course Description
This course is for advanced film and video students who are prepared to continue developing their own individual projects. Students will be expected to complete individual and group exercises and complete an individual final project. The course will deal in some depth with the theory and practice of working with sound and music for film including 16mm sound-synch filmmaking, audio recording on location and the set, and post- production editing and mixing. Students will learn to make sound tracks for film and video using Final Cut Pro and Protools. Readings and writing about the theory and history of the subject is an essential aspect of the course. Workshops that give training for using equipment and software will occur outside regularly scheduled class and students who already have experience in music composition, electronic music, or sound recording and mixing are welcome in the course. Students must purchase their own film and tape and must pay their own processing fees. Required screenings and workshops sometimes occur in the evening. There will be a $50 lab fee. Instructor permission required.
