MA Audio

Sonic environment and architecture

It involved the consideration and design of space, what does the environment sound like?
Sounds can be both physically and emotionally deifining of the space.

Objective and subjective sound

Objective sound: fact based observable

Subjection: emotional

Diegetic and non-diegetic sound

Diegetic - sound thats visible on screen or implied by action or environment

Non-diegetic - neither visible or has been implied in action or environment so soundtracks music etc etc

Factor to consider

Make sure when u do pickup, the sound matches the time you filmed it, its easy to miss that out when you’re doing pick ups.

The sonic palette

Defining sound effects and ambience source

Think about foley editing and mixing, if you can see it and it moves, it makes a sound, think about it

MA Audio

How do we export it to MA audio from premiere pro and how do they come back to import together from picture grading and sound?
Do a BITC to the audio and grading team (timecoded)
What audio state should it be during pic lock before going to our post sound mixer?
Radio mics and boom on shoot, keep all tracks of recordings of a scene for the sound mixer to decide
Think about the max of character in one scene, how many wide shots? How many radio mics
Location recce with MA sound if we can, and have the money
Rehearsals in studios first?
First track/bus should be dialogues, synced tracks, colour coded, named tracks
Next set of tracks/bus - Synced effects, on set foley, on location sounds etc *mark script for sounds required*
Room tone, continuity!! Position of the boom where it was placed,
RX plugin, ambient match,
M2.4 booking through Aidan, or wired mics
