Sound & Music for Visual Media (Non-Qualification course)

Description

This is a non – qualification course where learners will explore the world of music composition and sound recording for Film, TV & Games. Students will learn how to create, arrange and use music for a visual narrative exploring various genres including epic, horror, thriller, comedy and romance. Along side the music composed for a visual, the recording of sound (field & foley recordings) will be undertaken for the ‘onscreen’ SFX synchronisation. The use of Logic Pro X (DAW) as both a composition and synchronisation tool will be explored, as well as the use and techniques of microphones and field recording devices. 

Day: Saturdays (6 weeks)

Times: 10am - 3.30pm 

Who is this course for? 

Those that are interested in Sound and Music for visual media and have an interest in exploring composition and recording for TV, Film & Games. Students are not required to have previous knowledge of playing an instrument, using a DAW or recording with microphones but previous experience would be an advantage

•Understand the history of media sound & music

•Understand and use a DAW to compose music

•Understand and use compositional techniques to support visual narrative.

•Understand and use Microphones and techniques in the recording process

•Understand sound design and synchronisation to support visual narrative.

How will I learn?

The aim of the course is to build an understanding of these specialist areas and use some of the techniques explored in a short visual clip of your choice. The work is completed within the sessions through recording and composition on the equipment and is supported by a vast amount of learning resources supplied by the tutor. Practicing composition and recording at home would also be an advantage if you have the equipment, but not a necessity.
