Continuing Education

This introduction to sound recording for film/video production will cover the how and why of sound, acoustics and human hearing, microphone types, recorders and mixers. We'll discuss how documentary and dramatic sound is recorded, and cover the "must have" gear. Students will be introduced to boom operation, using lavaliers and wireless microphones, and employing best practices. Industry-standard sound equipment will be used, including the Zoom Recorder, 633 mixer and HD camera gear. Students will come away with an understanding of the field, as well as the skills and techniques to apply to film productions, podcasts, music, and other audio work. Beginner and emerging recordists welcome.
Note: This course is held on campus at SVA.
