Over the three-year period all the elements that contribute to the creation of the sound of a film will be dealt with in detail: dialogues, ambient sounds, noises, effects and music, such as information and expressive elements indispensable in cinematographic narration.
During the first year, teaching provides for everyone the mental and cognitive recognition of the typicality of sound that accompanies an image, as well as a thorough study of basic subjects such as sound physics, acoustics, psychoacoustics, electronics and audio / video technologies. Interaction with other educational sectors will be constantly cultivated, to get students used to managing the exercise of their role in a film within the crew. An interdisciplinary film shooting workshop will be held weekly with the students of Direction, Acting, Photography and Editing. Together with students from other disciplines, documentaries and short films will be made. In addition, the History of cinema and Analysis of cinematographic language courses begin, which will last for the entire three-year period.
During the second year of the course, teaching provides a theoretical study of the relationship between sound and image with particular attention to the dramaturgy of sound and musical historiography. The other courses provided focus on digital technology: from creation to recording and processing of sound. Students take part in various collective exercises, sharing all the phases of the entire production process, from recording directly on set, to post production of the sound in the hall, in order to appropriate both the practical technical competence and a mature aesthetic awareness .
