Post Production Theory and Practice II
6SouPPB Post Production Theory and Practice 6B builds upon foundational audio post-production skills by exploring advanced techniques and workflows used in professional film, television, and digital media environments.Students will deepen their understanding of dialogue, music, and effects mixing through practical applications of ADR, Foley, sound design, and stereo mixing techniques. Emphasis is placed on session management, audio editing, template creation, and delivery formats, including dipped/undipped mixes, stems, and DME/ME configurations.The course introduces advanced concepts in loudness standards (e.g., R128), file interchange formats (AAF), and efficient workflow strategies such as automation vs. clip gain, pre-FX processing, and template-based mixing. Students will also explore professional etiquette in collaborative audio post environments and engage with real-world delivery specifications.Practical sessions will involve dialogue editing, sound design, mixing music and effects, and final mix preparation. Exercises will include ADR session management, exporting stems, relinking media and using VCAs and master tracks for dynamic control in stereo sessions.By the end of the course, students will be capable of executing a complete post-production audio workflow - from field capture to final mix - while meeting technical broadcast standards and narrative storytelling goals. The course prepares students for real-world industry scenarios requiring precision, creativity, and technical fluency in audio post-production.
