Let’s talk about the sound in the movie
Already in October, the first open lectures of the Warsaw project AUDIOWIZJE, which is a series of actions in the field of audiovisual education, are starting. Its purpose will be to emphasize the role of the sound layer in the film – often unduly underestimated both in education and in the film making process.
Already in October, the first open lectures of the Warsaw project AUDIOWIZJE, which is a series of actions in the field of audiovisual education, are starting. Its purpose will be to emphasize the role of the sound layer in the film – often unduly underestimated both in education and in the film making process.
It will also be an opportunity to talk about Warsaw’s sound identity. Everyone interested is invited to Muranów Station – the first classes are coming on October 22!
The idea of the project is to start an interdisciplinary discussion about the role of sounds in human life and to spread the idea of using audio transmission in various fields of art. As part of the project, lectures and workshops will be held during which participants will acquire specialist knowledge in the field of film production, sound production, field recording of sounds and searching for means of expression through the audio layer.
The first stage of the project is open lectures that will take place at Muranów Station at 13 Andersa Street in Warsaw from October to December 2019. The classes will cover the subject of cooperation between sound and image in an audiovisual work, sources of sound materials for film, analysis of film structure, culture audio and sound identity of Warsaw. They will be led by specialists – dr Jacek Pająk (sound director, film expert, academic teacher), Rafał Listopad (film editor, academic teacher, member of the European Film Academy, Polish Film Academy and Polish Association of Editors), Dorota Nowocień (sound editor, academic teacher, member of Motion Picture Sound Editors, Audio Engineering Society and the Polish Filmmakers Association), Małgorzata Romanowska (researcher of sound composition of cities, creator and coordinator of the Warsaw Soundscape Project initiative) and experts from the Legal Culture Foundation, dealing with education in the field of copyright.
