The workshop is dedicated to the technical and creative aspects of the processes in working with sound: from the setting of audio equipment to the problems of sound editing, from the routing and creation of templates to the processing of various materials and their rendering for various distribution platforms.
Linguistic analysis and reflections on the production techniques necessary to complete the sound design of a film will also be discussed, starting from the initial planning of the sound design, up to the completion of the rendering procedure, touching on all of the intermediate steps: sound editing, effects, soundscaping, music composition and mixing.
