FILM 246 - Wild Sound

Semester Offered: Spring
0.5 unit(s)
“Wild sound” is any audio used in film or broadcast media that has been recorded asynchronously from the visual content or from the primary sonic component (as in the case with radio or other purely sonic media). It’s also a poetic term that conjures a landscape of possibilities and practices that might seem increasingly exotic in our screen-mediated lives, but which professional sound designers and sound artists still employ to powerful effect. This intensive introduces those possibilities primarily through a series of exploratory “sound walks” that take us and our field recording gear out of the classroom and into the built and natural environments around us. Over the course of the intensive we collectively curate a library of original sounds from which we construct or supplement at least one purely sonic project and one audiovisual project, which can take the form of a short narrative scene, image-essay, or collage.
