WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES-Sound for storytelling: The tools are not the artist, they are passive instruments until played by the creative practitioner. We do not come to the project with a preconceived ideology; We come to the project to discover, to learn, to interpret. We hope to create something new. This workshop is conducted primarily as a conversation and is fully interactive. We use case studies to teach a solution-based creative use of sound. Topics covered in the workshop will include: Using the sound palette for directorial intent. What is being transmitted to the audience at this specific moment? Connecting the characters to the audience Sound as a tool for emotional connection/truth/communication Character perspective, 1st person vs 3rd person, Like lenses and frame composition but not visible. Every shot is hand made by a team of artists Absence of understanding of the sound process on the set and beyond can limit the reach of the director Brief historical survey Not the Jazz Singer, but 40 years of evolving before the late 1920’s, when dialogue and sound-scape emerge. The creation of a film’s sound-scape begins in pre-production.
