H68.2038.901       2 Credits

In this class students learn the techniques and methods of sound recording on set.  The course includes lectures as well as hands-on assignments improving the aural sense and the ability to capture ambiences, sound effects, and dialogue, both wild and sync.  By the end of the semester, students should have a working knowledge of the industry standard PD-4 DAT Player with Smart Slate, AKG and Senheiser Microphones as well as general principles of sound recording that should allow fast understanding of other machines.  Sound theory including concepts of sound perspective and reverb will be touched upon to ease the transition from the set to editing process.

Additional sections of the same course (H68.2038.902, .903, etc.) may be offered.
