FILM 44.04 Sound: Practice and Theory

Through the analysis of soundtracks and the creation of soundtracks, this course will explore the history of film sound and the way theories of sound reproduction continue to influence the development of sound technology and the practical choices made by sound recorders, mixers and editors. We will look at early sound films, 70s breakthroughs (Altman, Murch), and the imaginary soundscapes of science fiction and horror films.
