This course, conceived for cinema and animation, provides the students with artistic and technical proficiency in the addition of sound to linear and interactive audio-visual projects. Through audio processing, foley and dubbing techniques, as well as sound effects, the students deal with the production and handling of sound design. Through studio-based practice, the students will study the main steps of the audio production process for video: preproduction, recording, editing, mixing and mastering. The attention is hence focused on mixing and mastering techniques, to carry out professional-quality sound projects in the audio production industry.
