FILM 245 - Producing Audio Narratives

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)

(Same as MEDS 245) This practice-based course places contemporary podcast forms within the larger context of sonic artistry across cinema, radio, and other media. As we produce our own original short audio narratives, we draw from a wide range of disciplines, techniques, and methodologies, including oral history, deep listening, non-extractive journalism and documentary practices, radio drama, voice acting and live performance, audio essay and collage, as well as abstract sound art and design. Students use professional equipment and software to produce their audio assignments, and they work collectively to create a showcase event and/or platform for their final projects.
