Learning outcomes/competences

This two-part seminar serves as an intensive examination of all aspects of original sound work for both scenic and documentary productions. The technical and technical skills should enable students to work comprehensively and professionally in the field of original sound in scenic and documentary film productions. The skills learned are applied and practiced in practical exercises and through participation in filming. The pure sound recording technique is supplemented by all those technical aspects that are not directly related to the recording of the original sound, but in addition to these fall within the responsibility of the original sound master in film productions - e.g. timecode linking, sound recordings, setting up monitoring options for the director/script, etc.
The seminar units on field recording deal with sound recording technology and the conceptual considerations required to create high-quality sound/noise/effects recordings away from a film set or sound studio for later use in sound design. The knowledge acquired in field recording can of course also be put to good use in the context of original sound work.

Contents

- Technical conception
- Shooting routines and methods for original sound work (fishing guidance and handling clip-on microphones, metadata management / sound reports)
- Only tones, after speakers, room tones
- Radio systems and frequency management
- Timecode linking, provision of monitoring options, audio feeds, etc.
- Practical participation in filming
- Organization and implementation of field recordings
- Mono/multi-channel miking
- metadata-based packaging and archiving of field recordings in the sound library of the FH sound studio

Contents

The content of the modules offered in the specialization in science I serves the specific acquisition of design-relevant theoretical discourses with which the courses in the basic lectures have familiarized students. This involves image analyses and text readings, relevant work and project criticism. Subject-specific theories, analyses and terminology are mapped and applied to current and historical design productions in the context of different media. The aim is to train students' critical and presentation skills with a view to current fields of discourse in art, media and design studies. The courses are also didacticized from a systematic point of view; the aspects correspond to the headings of the (elective) focus areas: Design/art/culture - signs/media/aesthetics - communication/space/society.
