Sound Design

Bachelor of Film Arts


If you are awakened by sound and how it affects the mood and meaning of a dramatic landscape, think about Sound Design.

Creating a soundtrack requires crafting the right synergy between silence, ambience, natural sounds, music, dialogue and action on screen, to create the perfect emotional landscape for the film story. This is the sound designer’s job, and it’s the art of immersing the audience completely into the film’s reality.

This course is unique in the country as it concentrates specifically on the design of sound elements for audio-visual media, rather than on music technology. Comprehensive training to enable the creation of dramatically appropriate, high fidelity audio content for film, radio, television, and games is provided.

Careers

  • AV Sound Designer
  • Final Mix Technician
  • Production Mixer
  • Sound Recordist
  • Sound Supervisor
  • Foley Artist
  • Dialogue Editor
  • Not limited to the above!
