Course Overview

The course delivers a mixture of advanced technical skills related to sound design and audio post production for film and other visual media. It also provides creatively-oriented insights into contemporary sound design practice and encourages students to push the boundaries of the field. Subject areas include:

• Sound sculpting, processing and synthesis

• The language and aesthetics of sound design

• Storytelling and dramaturgy.

This is in addition to a wide range of more conventional post-production skillsets such as:

• Sound editing

• Foley and field recording

• Production workflows

• Track-laying

• Dubbing mixing

• Surround sound and VR audio.

You won’t be expected to cover all of these areas. You’ll be able to use the course to develop an individually-tailored portfolio of skills, experience and top-level work across them.
