The Symphony of Sound Design
A skilled audio mixer, or foley artist, carefully crafts each element of the soundscape to form a complete scene once dubbed onto the moving images. From the rustling leaves to the distant rumble of thunder, every sound is purposefully chosen to work alongside the narrative. Whether it’s the subtle creaking of a floorboard or the sound of gulls at the beach, sound design shapes your perception of the on-screen world.
Beyond Realism: Creating Emotional Resonance
Cinematic soundscapes go beyond realism. The delicate pluck of a violin can create the feeling of sadness, while the sudden crash of percussion can send shivers down your spine. Selecting music to go alongside your video goes beyond picking your favourite tune!
Crafting Environments Through Audio
Just as the right lighting transforms a room, audio can transport you to different worlds. Whether it’s the bustling streets of a 1920s New York City or the eerie silence of an abandoned house, soundscapes are the key to creating believable environments. Think about how many videos have voice overs which will mostly likely be recorded in a silent studio. Layered under that will be the many sound effects chosen to give the audience the feeling of a real authentic environment.
