Sound Design for Moving Image offers a clear introduction to sound
design theory and practice to help you integrate sound ideas into your
productions. Contemporary soundtracks are often made up of hundreds of
separate tracks, and thousands of individual sounds, including elements
of dialogue, music and sound effects. As a result, many budding
filmmakers find them a daunting prospect, and are tempted to leave sound
to the last stages of post-production. This book, from award-winning
Sound Designer Kahra Scott-James, encourages you to incorporate sound
into your pre-production planning, to make the most of this powerful
narrative tool.
Adopting a specific framework in order to help demystify sound design
for moving image, the book isn't designed as a sound engineering
handbook, but as a guide for moving image content creators wanting to
explore sound and collaborate with sound designers. Regardless of
medium, the same, or similar concepts can be adopted, adapted, and
applied to any project employing sound.
Includes detailed and insightful interviews with leading sound
designers, including Randy Thom, Director of Sound Design at Skywalker
Sound, and Glenn Kiser, Director of the Dolby Institute, as well as
practical projects to help you hone your skills using video and sound
files available from the companion website - https:

complete sound course to take you from novice skills to confident
practitioner.
