POST PRODUCTION SOUND FOR FILM

There's an old adage in filmmaking that audiences will forgive bad visuals, but they'll never forgive bad sound. And it's hard to get good sound. Good sound is often resurrected, or created, in post production. The sound process in post is a massive undertaking, and is crucially important. In this video, we look at everything you need to know to achieve good sound.

MOVIE SOUND TERMS

Several tools are used in post-production sound to refine and enhance audio quality. Equalization (commonly known as EQ) adjusts frequency levels to balance tones and remove unwanted noise. Compression manages dynamic range, making quieter sounds louder and reducing peaks.

SOUND EDITING

Supervising sound editors oversee the entire process, coordinating teams and ensuring quality control. Sound designers organize and refine audio elements, ensuring dialogue, sound effects, and music align seamlessly with the visuals. Dialogue editors clean up and sync recorded speech, while ADR editors oversee rerecorded dialogue integration.

POST SOUND EFFECTS

Sound effects enhance realism or heighten dramatic impact in a film. Foley artists create and record everyday sounds such as footsteps, rustling clothes, or object interactions. Field recordists capture ambient noises and environmental sounds on location.

POST PRODUCTION MUSIC

We all know how important music is. Composers write original scores, tailoring melodies to enhance mood and story beats. Music supervisors select and license pre-existing tracks to complement scenes. Orchestrators arrange compositions for live performances, ensuring the right instrumentation.

SOUND MIXING

And finally, the final step. Sound mixing involves balancing all audio elements to create a cohesive and immersive experience. The final mix determines how audiences perceive and engage with the film’s soundscape, making it one of the most critical (and difficult) steps in post-production audio.
