Art of Sound Creativity in Film Sound and Electroacoustic Music

Art of Sound Creativity in Film Sound and Electroacoustic Music

Bringing together a diverse group of world leading professionals across Post-Production Film Sound and Electroacoustic Music Art of Sound explores the creative principles that underpin how sonic practitioners act to compose tell stories make us feel and communicate via sound. Revealing new understandings through analysis of interdisciplinary exchanges and interviews this book investigates questions of aesthetics perception and interpretation unveiling opportunities for a greater appreciation of the artistry in sound practice which underpins both experimental electronic music and the world’s leading film and television productions. It argues that we can better understand and appreciate the creative act if we regard it as a constantly unfolding process of inspiration material action and reflection. In contrast to traditional notions which imagine outputs as developed to reflect a preconceived creative vision our approach recognises that the output is always emerging as the practitioner flows with their materials in search of their solution constantly negotiating the rich networks of potential. This enables us to better celebrate the reality of the creative process de-centring technologies and universal rules and potentially opening up the ways in which we think about sonic practices to embrace more diverse ideas and approaches. Art of Sound provides insight into the latest developments and approaches to sound and image practice for composers filmmakers directors scholars producers sound designers sound editors sound mixers and students who are interested in understanding the creative potential of sound. | Art of Sound Creativity in Film Sound and Electroacoustic Music

Cinematic Storytelling A Comprehensive Guide for Directors and Cinematographers

Cinematic Storytelling A Comprehensive Guide for Directors and Cinematographers

This book presents a new story-based approach to cinematic coverage and storytelling in film and video. It breaks from the conventional idea that shots are the fundamental unit of filmmaking instead exploring the specifics of determining coverage. Keyframes in patterns are introduced delivering scripted material in a context-rich presentation that supports the storytelling. All the analysis interpretation and creative decision making is done first with shots derived as the very last step. Scripted material is divided into six categories with associated patterns. Like cinematic building blocks these can freely stack up and interconnect supporting creativity and avoiding rigid formulas. This approach enables filmmakers to tap into the film language that audiences already understand and put it to practical use helping the audience to feel the storytelling deeply. Dozens of film examples are provided throughout plus conceptual and camera diagrams to contextualize the methods presented and exercises are provided to reinforce concepts. Emphasis is placed on supporting performance and story meaning through a cinematic context. With all the concepts and decision-making options described and shown in examples a scripted scene is analyzed and developed through an eight-step process illustrated with storyboard camera diagrams and ultimately shot list descriptions. The book is ideal for filmmaking students interested in directing and cinematography as well as aspiring and early-career filmmakers cinematographers and directors. | Cinematic Storytelling A Comprehensive Guide for Directors and Cinematographers
