“Sound in Cinema” — a lecture with a practical component

The topic of sound in cinema often remains “invisible,” yet it is precisely sound that shapes the emotional structure of a film and influences how the viewer perceives it.

Lecture program:

• Historical overview of the emergence of cinema
• Understanding sound in film — from individual perception to professional approaches
• Analysis of sound techniques used by Jonny Greenwood and John Cage
• Practical exercise “What do I see? What do I hear?” based on material from the films by Grandrieux and The Zone of Interest
• The work of foley studios and the specifics of the foley artist profession
• Practical exercise: automatic writing after white noise
