FLM 275 - Fundamentals of Music and Sound Design

Institution:

DigiPen Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite(s): None Every good animation relies on a well-designed soundtrack to enhance the production. While most animators do not produce the soundtrack themselves, they need to understand the effect of music, voice, and sound effects on an audience. Animators must be able to communicate their ideas to a musician and understand the technological possibilities of modern sound design. Initially students will survey a broad range of music from different cultures. Emphasis will be on developing basic listening skills in hearing rhythm, melody, harmony, color, texture, and form. Students will then learn how to apply this to the production needs of animation. The course will give special attention to the generation of sound, how to use sound to advance a story, and how it can create mood, a sense of place, and emphasis. There may be course fees associated with this class. Please see the course registration packet for details.
