About The Audio Concentration

The goal of the audio concentration is to carry the filmmaker through the various audio steps involved in pre-production, production, post-production and the release of the motion picture. This requires awareness of the impact of audio (physiological), the creative (design) and the creation (technical). It is through the proper combining of these attributes that the filmmaker can achieve the ultimate goal, controlling the viewer.

First there was sound and then there was picture, now we have picture with sound. Often looked upon as the mysterious part of filmmaking (it’s all done with mirrors), sound has been the unsung hero in filmmaking. If "a picture is worth a thousand words" then in the audio concentration one will discover sounds that are worth a thousand pictures.

How is this done? The course structure of the audio concentration is focused on simultaneously applying both the creative and technical. Seasoned industry professionals teach creative theory and aesthetics, and at the same time, the application of state-of-the-art equipment which facilitates its expression.

Who should be in the audio concentration?

As a concentration it is intended for the person who wishes to excel in the field of audio for the visual medium.
Its courses, used as electives, will enhance any filmmaker’s ability to maintain a holistic approach in filmmaking; no matter what discipline(s) they represent.
