Sound+Designer

Kim Cherrie Sound Designer...  Sound Designer: What is it?  The Sound Designer is an Artist that is brought in during the production stages of planning. The Sound designer will meet up with the Composer. They'll study the script and assemble as much information that they can to get on the characters.  The Sound designer will have to get together with not only the Director but also the Design team, to get a clear understanding of the film, production or play. The sound **__must__** relate back to the narritive thematic needs of the film.

Sound is a very important part of the film as it had the ability to convey loads of emotions examples of this would be:


 * motivate actions and indicate events taking place offstage[[image:filmproductionroles11med23/imagesCA9W6C87.jpg width="264" height="154" align="right"]]
 * establish the time of day, season and weather
 * locate the action in a specific place
 * create mood and changes in mood
 * stimulate audience expectations of what is to come
 * provide information about the characters
 * build transitions between scenes
 * offer shortcuts that rapidly advance the plot or recall past events

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The stages that the Sound Designer is needed in is all threee pre-production, production and post production. This is becuaes they need to meet up with the driector and the design team to discuss the the interpretation of the film and how the scene needs to feel, in the movie. the Sound Desgner also needs to work with the composer to make sure that the music and sound work in together well, so the one doesn't take out the other. These are all very important because if there is no communication between the three of them then the final product might not sound right. So more stress for the sound designer and the movie will get relaesed later.

Also will need to have a good understanding of acoustics, and knowledge of sound recording and editing techniques both analogue and digital. You'll need to have an under standing for all of the cameras and microphones so that you can capture the sensation of the different sound that are being made at all different times.
