COMM231
- Soundtracks/Lecture
How do sounds and music work in conjunction with (and against) moving
images? This class will address this question, both on a practical,
do-it-yourself level with a variety of exercises and projects, as well as
through a critical and analytical approach with screenings, readings and
discussion. The course is organized into three sections. First, we will
examine the elements of narrative sound and introduce the practice of
audiovisual analysis. In the middle section of the class, we will focus on
post-production techniques. This constellation of practices found in classic
narrative films through contemporary ones (that is, the body of films with
which most of us are most familiar) will be the subject of scrutiny and
emulation through a series of exercises dealing with dialogue, music, and
sound effects. Third, we will look at a variety of historical
conventions‹sound and music in silent and transitional/early sound films as
well as experimental cinema‹and concentrate on live performance of music and
sound effects to accompany silent film. Prerequisite MUSC121 or 141 or ARTS 167 or SCRN107. Mr. Malsky/offered periodically
