Competency aims
The aim of the course is to learn to use sound as a
dramaturgical element that supports the story, pictures and
actors' action in a drama film.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student is expected to be able to
understand how the sound functions as a dramaturgical and
suspense creative element in drama and documentary film.
Course contents
The course includes an introductory lecture in which the
students will receive advice and ideas how to carry out the
course successfully. The individual students will also study
sound dramaturgically oriented literature and write an essay in
which two or more sound dramaturgical theories are used to
analyse sound in a film sequence. The students will also
participate in a short film production as a sound designer or
sound engineer to plan, record and edit sound. The students
have a possibility for tutoring in the shortfilm process. The
individual students are also expected to keep a learning diary in
which they describe and analyse the short film process out of
sound dramaturgical, sound technological and work
methodological angles. The student is also expected to analyse
his/her own working methods and roll during the process. The
diary will be submitted for grading after the feedback lecture at
the end of the course.
