Overview

Films/Movies/Videos are an AUDIO-VISUAL medium which means they contain 50% sound and 50% visual (at times sound even overplays the visual).
 

Though Sound is one of the most talked about subjects in films, it is still the least understood department of filmmaking. It has been observed that captivating sound is one of the most important attributes that separate a professional film from an amateur one. New and aspiring filmmakers rarely give importance to audio/sound because they usually come from or have a background of writing and photography, neither of which have any association with sound. Due to this gap in knowledge we don’t plan properly for sound and sound related tasks which results in a poor quality sound track and eventually takes the viewer’s attention away from your story and visuals. Many short films, low-budget films, and sometimes even big feature films have failed because of this, despite having an interesting story.

  • Sound cannot be taught only by lectures or theories but by practicing, listening and understanding it.
  • Your mentor will guide you through the entire workshop using film clips, audio clips, live demonstrations and interactive lectures.
  • Laptops/Computers and Headphones are recommended while attending the sessions.
  • The Workshop will take place over 2 Weeks. The timings will be 18:00 to 21:00 IST with a small break.

COMPLETING THIS WORKSHOP WILL HELP YOU:

  • Have better working knowledge of the subject which will allow you to confidently deal with Audio/Sound at all stages of Filmmaking.
  • Understand the fundamental concepts of Sound Design.
  • Receive an e-Certificate on completion of the workshop (minimum 80% attendance).

  1. Dinesh Shenoy

    Hi, I took this course online and I’m glad I took it:)

    Even though I’ve been working in filmmaking since the last 23 years, first as a cinematographer, then Line producer/Producer, I hadn’t given much thought about sound designing! Therefore I decided to take up this short term course.

    As I said during the course, after this course, the way I watch movies has changed:) Earlier I would be so consumed by the visuals I never used to concentrate on audio part of it.

    As Subhashis sir rightly mentioned during the course that film is all about Audio Visual experience, so we cannot ignore Audio part at all…

    I’d like to thank guys at Living Bridge for conducting the course and Subhashis sir for enlightening us with his vast knowledge:)

  2. Binu

    A very good course to understand the basics of sound design in movies. Content was exhaustive from a beginner perspective. The objective for me to join the course was to understand the element of sound in cinema as a cinephile. Met my objectives to a good extend. This course would help me enjoy movies with a fresh perspective

  3. Surbhi Dewan

    I did this course because I was looking for a refresher in sound production and to learn more about the creative and technical aspects of sound design. The course delivered and went beyond my expectations. Subhashis Sir was easily accessible and full of knowledge and experience. From him, I have received a strong foundation and plenty additional resources to move further on my own.
    Thank you, Living Bridge, for providing workshops online so that people outside Pune can benefit.

    Basics of Sound Design Virtual Workshop

    I was privileged to participate in the Basics of Sound Design Virtual Workshop. The workshop was quite interesting and informative.

    Even though the duration of the course is less Subhashsis sir covered all the topics thoroughly. His teaching style was very informative and sessions were very interactive. This course definitely creates an impact on everyone and the way they watch films from the perspective of sound.

    The shortcoming of the workshop is the duration of the course. At least 8 to 10 days is an ideal time for the course. I hope Azir Sir would consider my point while conducting the Workshop again.

    I’d like to thank Living Bridge for conducting the course and expecting more workshops like this in the future.

  5. Tannistha Paul

    Hi. Being a 2nd year Film Design student, this course was more about getting to know about the sound department in films at a basic level. I agree to @Binu. The content was a bit exhaustive for beginners, but I enjoyed knowing the aesthetic aspects of sound design in films. The technical part was informative and I hope to apply the knowledge gained in the future.
    I enjoyed the movies which were shown during this course. This time I made sure to pay more attention towards the sound design in it rather than the plot. It was very helpful and I enjoyed them very much. I hope to learn more about this part of film making.
    Thanks to Living Bridge for this course and Subhashis Sir for opening the world of Sound design to me.

  6. Amrita Singh

    I did this course to continue strengthening my knowledge and foundation of sound, as a location sound recordist and to improve my knowledge of sound design. The course design was extremely well thought of, down to minute particulars. It was also very professionally facilitated especially being a virtual course, course materials and schedules were managed brilliantly. It was also easy on the pocket which is important for freelancers in these times. The best highlight of the course was the way Subhashis sir decoded sounds theory and the technical aspects of sound. Even though I have been professional recording sound since a while, there was still a lot to learn and refresh because things were explained so well and in a simplified form. Also since I didn’t attend film school, to understand sound design from the lens of cinema was very enriching and I loved the homework of watching and understanding the sound design of classic films. My one feedback would be to touch more on practical exercises of post production and sound design on the software or design an advance course for the same, Thankyou so much to Aziz sir and the whole Living Bridge team for organisation this wonderful online course.

  7. Yuvraj Bajaj

    I liked the clips and movies we were asked to watch. I liked to watch how folly sounds are done in a studio. I liked watching other things we were offered.

    But overall, I am sorry to say, that the workshop did not work for me. I felt it was too technical, which maybe sound design is. Thus I found it very boring.

    I do not blame our mentor wholly. He was trying to do what he could do. But it wasn’t working.

    It is quite possible that this workshop wasn’t meant for me, because I joined this in an impulsive decision to simply learn about film making; also it could have been a ‘wrong time’ for me.

    Thank you for offering to take my review.

  8. Kabir Agarwal

    Very helpful workshop. A wide range of topics were covered in a short amount of time, providing a good base for further education in this field.
    Thanks to Subhashis Sir and the living bridge team for organising this.

  9. Paulomi Jayakar

    I have done film appreciation course before, with FTII, years ago. That course described films as a visual art and we had discussions on history of cinema, story telling, visuals, camerawork, visual editing but sound was not discussed so much. This course on sound design has complimented that earlier experience and has completed my understanding of films. Very efficiently planned lessons and information with an ear for detail and coceptual work both. Technical knowledge was imparted well for beginners. All this in a humble fees frame is unimaginable in today’s times. Thank you Living bridge for promoting the course on facebook. Thank you Subhashis Dada for your time, patience and thoroughness of approach. It was an important milestone for me. All the best!

  10. Dibyendu

    I am practicing as an amateur filmmaker for the past 10 years. Last year I was even invited to Ukraine to make short documentary films for an Urbanism Festival. However, I don’t have a team, I mostly work alone, sometimes I work with found footage or footage recorded by regular people with no formal interest or training in handling cameras. I myself happen to be in a running and gunning situation. Whereas I can trust others with a camera sometimes but I could never trust anybody with sound unless they are a professional. I have been trying to learn sound design on my own through various online tutorials, books, and some of my friends who have been working with music recording. From my friends, I had some ideas regarding mics, and some of the technical terms, but I always failed to see the big picture. I didn’t know where to start.

    This workshop made all those bits and pieces I had learned actively or passively fall in perspective, and more. Through this systematic learning, a lot of things I had seen people do or discuss regarding sound design, started to make sense. Seeing the big picture is still a long way for me, I however have found which direction I need to see.

    And if an advanced course on “sound design for films” is on the way then I will be the first one to register.

    Thank you.

    As a budding filmmaker I wanted to gain perspective on all the crafts in the filmmaking. This course helped me to gain knowledge about sound design and made me to pay attention to the craft while watching a movie and understand what goes inside designing the sound. Though this course is basic, the overall experience is enriching. Mentor Mr.Subhashis Roy not only shared his knowledge about sound design but also shared many insights about the practicality, challenges etc while production and post production of the sound. I would recommend this course to all the budding filmmakers and existing filmmakers as well.

  12. Shweta Chakraborty

    I first attended Subhashis Sir’s class during the Filmmaking workshop, where we had a day long sound workshop to give us basic insights on the importance of sound in cinema. At the end of the workshop when I made my first short film, I realized how crucial handling sound in a film was and that lead me to do the basic sound design course.

    What I found most impressive about Sir’s way of teaching is that he is extremely well organized and thorough in his teaching. His focus doesn’t falter and his course is very well crafted. In just 16hours, he manages to cover so many topics and still finishes his sessions on time without cutting any topics short.

    Though it’s a basic course, he covered many important aspects of sound that is good enough to get beginners started on their sound journey.

    The film clips he shortlisted for sound references were brilliant. Though the workshop was not hands-on, but he gave us some Audacity experience to guide us how sound design is practically done. It is a good starting point for us to practice more hands-on and use tutorials to learn the software better.

    A word of caution – few people might feel that the session is too technical but the field of sound itself is technical, and it only makes sense for the mentor to explain the technical aspects if he wants to do justice to the workshop.

    An excellent course overall, highly recommended for beginner level filmmakers and sound enthusiasts.
