Description
Sound has been an integral part of the moviegoing experience since the early days of cinema. Even during the silent era, motion pictures were regularly accompanied by live music, lectures, and sound effects. Today, sonic elements continue to play a crucial role in guiding our emotional responses and holding our attention. This book explores the collaborative work involved in creating cinematic soundscapes, from the development of film technology to the marketing of soundtrack records. It delves into six eras of Hollywood history, each chapter written by an expert in that period, highlighting key concepts, seminal moments, and pivotal figures in the evolution of cinema sound. By reading Sound, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the artistry and technical wizardry required to create the cinematic soundscape, as well as the achievements of renowned sound designers and film composers.
