電影魔法：聲音設計的奇妙世界：第二部（14-18 歲）

Welcome to Part 2 of the Sound Design course! Now that you have learned the basics and lingo related to sound design, we can apply this knowledge in a more practical sense! 

This course will teach students how to actually do the sound design for a scene. Throughout the course, they will complete a final assignment in which they build a soundscape for a 10 second scene. It will be broken down into tasks that they will complete for homework each week. 

Week 1: Review and Group Practice
To start of the course, we will review some of the basics learned in Part 1 (DFME), as well as watch some scenes in which we identify different sound design basics we have learned. We will also build the sound design for a short scene together as a class.

Homework: Pick a 10 second scene for your assignment (or use the one I suggest) and write down the types of sounds you hear in the scene.

Week 2: File set up and sourcing sounds
In this class, students will learn how to import video and sound files as well as how to set up the timeline in the editing software. Different places for sourcing sound will also be taught and explored, along with sound recording techniques. Together as a class, we will source the sounds for a given scene. We will end the class by building the soundscape for another sample scene.

Homework: Write down where you will source each sound from for your chosen scene. Record your sounds and download/import them into the editing software.

Week 3: Putting it on the timeline
Students will be shown how to place the sourced sounds onto the timeline in another example of building the sound design for a scene. 
The use of audio effects will also be taught and explored. 

Homework: Place the sounds onto the timeline and add audio effects where needed. 

Week 4: Let's share!
The final class will be a showcase of everyone's scenes. We will have a positive discussion on the strengths of each assignment as well as what can be improved on. We will end the course with a final session of building a scene's soundscape as a class. 

I strive to provide a class environment that is fun, engaging, and a positive space! I hope to see you there! :)

Headphones are highly recommended for this class. Students will also need access to an Apple computer or an iPad (to use iMovie, which is free on both).  A phone (preferably iPhone) to record sounds is also required (unless they have an iPad, which can be used to record sounds as well). Please send me a message if you have any questions.

Students are required to take "The Wonderful World of Sound Design: Part One" in order to take this course.
