Mitzi Goldman will moderate a discussion with three leading sound artists.
Euridice Aroney, Annie Breslin and Martin Armiger.
Whilst a
picture tells a thousands words it is sound, or the lack of, that
willsecure the relationship between an audience and a set of images.
Sound contextualises, underscores and subverts meaning. To not take
sound seriousl in documentary is to ignore the full potential of your
story. Sound can make orbreak your doco.
But Sound is often overlooked in its storytelling function in
documentary filmmaking. People often think of pictures first and
describe what we will see without imagining where sound might take us.
Usually sound can take the imagination much further than images alone
will allow.
Sound can reassure, confront, unnerve and trivialise. The use of sound
makes us laugh and cry. It frightens and soothes us and through all of
this, sound in voice, music and fx is a master storyteller. The absence
of the sound can speak more than a thousand words.
This session unpacks the enormous contribution of sound to documentary
filmmaking. Sound can take the audiences to places that cameras can't
get to and provide information that cameras can't see.
Mitzi Goldman will moderate a discussion with three leading sound
artists in their field. Euridice Aroney, radio documentary specialist
creates virtual worlds in the future and past to engage her mobile
audience with the aim to re-engage people in political and social
change. Annie Breslin has spent more than twenty years in sound design
on features and documentaries and is inspired by the ways in which the
human voice in sound design operates subtextually. Martin Armiger is a
musician and screen composer with a passion for storytelling through
music and has a few novels to his credit.
