ELEVATING YOUR STORY THROUGH SOUND DESIGN
CO-ORGANISED WITH MOCHA CHAI LABORATORIES
27 NOV 2016, SUN / 1.00PM / 60MIN
IMPORTANT TICKETING INFORMATION BELOW
Independent film in Singapore is making waves once again. After Anthony Chen’s Ilo Ilo, the recent successes of Boo Junfeng’s Apprentice and K Rajagopal’s A Yellow Bird, both which travelled to Cannes and garnered rave reviews, are testaments to this. Often overlooked but never unnoticed is the sound design in these films, which heightens emotions and enhances the mood of the film, through a delicate art of playing with levels and knowing what to bring forward and what to leave in the background. We talk to sound designers about the challenges faced during the different stages of post-production in sound – from thoughts during production, to the dialogue editing and sound mixing stages, the dos and don’ts, and share experiences with some talented sound and media professionals.
