We were introduced to the course by Ron and Neil and were given all the appropriate documents and assessments. We also discussed films, websites and atricles we should watch such as The Conversation and Blow Out. We were told to watch a film called Berberian Sound Studio which follows shows the mechanics of a man making foley sounds for an Italian horror film.
We were told about the components of sound design including dialogue, voiceover, atmos, effects, foley, music, ADR, mixing and EQ, motif and sound signature. We were told to consider a mood and tone of a film and to keep in mind what the directors intention is when creating a soundscape for them. We were told to contemplate the question 'How does sound tell the story?'
We were shown mute clips from films such as Lost in Translation, Solaris and No Country for Old Men and were told we would have to eventually get sounds from the sound library and record foley to re-sound this clips. We were told to get into the habit of marking our clips where we felt needed a new sound added.
