Post Production Theory and Practice I

Covers foundational concepts of Audio Post Production theory, including common terminology, sample rates, bit rates, codecs, and basic Audio Post Production Mixing Techniques. Students will learn to implement key concepts, theories, industry-standard practices, and techniques used in Audio Mixing, such as session management, level balance, processing, and the effective use of plug-ins and hardware. The course provides a comprehensive understanding of audio quality, data rates, and the need for compression in production scenarios. Students will also explore various audio file formats, gaining insight into their interchangeability within a typical production chain. Practical work will be conducted using professional digital audio workstations (DAWs), where students will import video and audio assets, organise media, and apply mixing techniques to create and enhance audio projects. Exercises will focus on managing audio levels, applying processing, exporting a final mix, and finalising a basic project. By the end of the course, students will be able to manage, mix, and output broadcast-quality audio using industry-standard post-production workflows. They will also explore how audio processing techniques can enhance the narrative goals of different screen-media genres.
