Audio Post-Production for Cinema

This workshop addresses aesthetic concepts inherent to audio for cinema and also methodologies (workflows) associated with ProTools, used in the cinematic post-production industry.

Objectives and methodologies

1. To develop a greater understanding of the function of sound in cinematic narrative

2. To present different work methodologies for use in post-production

3. To introduce a variety of ProTools editing techniques

4. To introduce the Foley process

The workshop will have a theoretic component that will explore the aesthetic, technical and methodological concepts, in addition to a practical component in which each participant may apply the theoretical knowledge acquired through a series of exercises using sound editing, the Foley process and mixing techniques.
