Course Description

You've heard it said -- in video and film, AUDIO is 70% of what you see. The sound you record on set can be the biggest obstacle to achieving truly professional results in your production. But it's also one of the easiest things to get right!
This 2.
5-hour course is ideal for beginners, excellent for intermediates who want to better understand the topics, and great for professionals as easy reference. It will be a program you come back to again and again.
Through detailed explanation, hands-on demonstration, and tongue-in-cheek sketch comedy and cinematic vignettes, Barry Green and Matt Gettemeier guide you through fundamentals for getting great sound in your film or television project.
They'll get you on your way to professional-sounding audio, from two very simple but extremely important recording techniques which will solve nearly 80% of your audio problems, to choosing the correct microphone for your project and the right way to handle your microphones on set, to building a basic audio kit and using it properly, to choosing and managing locations to get the best possible sound recording environment.
Then join DVXUser post-production guru David Jimerson as he explains the basics of audio post production -- what to do with your sound once you've recorded it, taking a real scene from raw cuts all the way to a complete sound mix.
With over two and a half hours of instruction, SOUND for Film and Television is your first step toward achieving great audio!

The information given is excellent.

By Uwe Reuter on 9/12/2020

Great, even if the course is a little older, there are great tips here on how to get good sound for your movie recording. Everything is illustrated with playful little sketches and good explanations of why something works. Or not.

A little bit old fashioned...

Very educational

This sounds course really helped me understand sound more. The illustrations were very much helpful in understanding how to record good quality audio, selecting the right microphones and even understanding how to scout for a good location to help with getting good quality dialogue(s).

It was awesome.

By Krzysztof Jarzebinski on 6/22/2020

Einfach und verstndlich erklrt. Der Film aus dem Jahr 2008 ist natrlich schon sehr veraltet.

Ein Spitzenkurs!!!
Mit viel Spa und guten Erklrungen lernst du hier:
WAS guter Sound ist, WANN und WO erstellt wird. Und du siehst nicht nur Erklrungen, sondern eigens fr diesen Kurs gedrehte Szenen, die mit verschiedenen Audiobeispielen, d.h. gleiche Szene mit guter Klangqualitt und die gleiche Szene mit einigen Aufnahmefehlern, die anschlieend besprochen werden und deren Verbesserungen dargestellt werden.
Die Beispiele sind nicht nur anschaulich durch die Szenen, sondern auch lustig, da es kleine Sketche sind.
Absolut professionelles Niveau des Kurses, der eher den echten Preis wert ist und nicht einfach nur den Preis der Aktionen mit 90% Rabatt.
Fr Profis, die sich lange und wirklich professionell mit dem Thema beschftigen wird vielleicht nicht sehr viel Neues dabei sein, fr Anfnger bis hin zu Amateuren ist er durchaus empfehlenswert.
Beim Kurs ist ebenfalls eine klare Struktur und wohlberlegtes
Konzept ersichtlich. Und es wird immer wieder auch auf eine Low-budget-Produktion eingegangen.
Hat wirklich Spa gemacht den Kurs durchzuarbeiten.
Fazit: Als Anfnger und Amateur lohnt sich die Investition allemal, da viel Wissen in einer bersichtlichen Struktur dargeboten wird und viele Fehler durch die Erfahrung dieser Profis im Vorfeld erst gar nicht auftauchen werden (wenn wirklich beherzigt wird, was vermittelt wurde).
10 Daumen nach oben - obwohl ich nur zwei habe ;)
