Sound in Film: How Illusions Are Created
9.99 €
It would seem that moviegoers hear real sounds, but this is not entirely true. The filmmakers create an artificial world on the screen with its own characters, geography, and storyline. And this world does not sound on its own — the illusion that it sounds exactly like this is created by the sound engineer.
A fascinating story about creating sound for films is told by a direct participant in the production process — sound engineer Elena Maslova. She reveals the secrets of sound solutions for cult films. You will learn why in the film "King of Thieves" the bank is robbed to the musical theme from the ballet "The Nutcracker" and why Robert Bresson chose Mozart's mass for his famous film. 80 sound options were recorded for the ashcan from "Kin-dza-dza", and Chewbacca from "Star Wars" speaks with the voice of a bear cub. But the main discovery that the reader will make is that if the sounds in the film disappear, the audience's emotions will disappear too. The book is addressed to everyone who is passionate about cinematography, as well as students of specialized universities and future sound engineers.
