SOUND
An introduction to sound recording & editing in film making
From wave length to bit depth & a few more technical definitions the workshop studies how sound can be recorded and stored analogically or digitally or in a combination of both.
For many years, sound studios, TV and the film industry used analogue tape recorders. Sound files where continuous, cumbersome and difficult to manipulate. In the 80s, the Dutch Philips & Japanese Sony companies introduced the CD and digital sampling of analogue sound. It became a corner stone in sound production and modern videography.
Today’s famous digital recorders capture analogue sound at its highest level and convert it to its purest digital form, it then the cinematographers role to make it fit its best within his animated picture !
The workshop looks into the structure of sound waves and the waveform measurements, digital sampling rate, bit depth, and and in depth study of the decibel (dB) frequencies and their impact on the human ear.
The last section briefly looks into the actual production tools, microphones, recording devices and of course various recording process & their pitfalls.
