Cinematic Sounds - School Holiday Workshop
View from the back of a cinema auditorium with red seats showing a projected animated scene of a cluttered grocery storefront where produce is scattered and a person walks past while another stands nearby.
Think of your favourite movie. If it had no sound or music, would it still have the same impact on you?
Get ready for a fun-filled school holiday workshop where you'll learn all about creating cinematic sounds for movies and videos!
Back by popular demand, Cinematic Sounds is a two day school holiday workshop at Newcastle Conservatorium of Music (suitable for those aged 11-14 years), that provides students with the opportunity to put sound to a short, animated film.
Film music and cinematic sounds enhance character, create mood and heighten emotion in films. A soundscape can make or break a film. In this workshop, you will explore the work of film score composers, Foley artists, and the impact technology has had on the history of film music. Using computer software, you will learn to produce and arrange sounds, compose and record music, synchronize sounds to video, and create a film score soundtrack.
You don't need any experience but some musical knowledge and / or experience with Apple / Garageband will be an advantage.
