Course contents

This module consists of 3 meetings in the fall semester and 4 meetings in the spring semester. Each meeting will be the projection of a movie with „added sonic value“. Students will vote on what movie should be screened. The discussion about the sound will be supported by references and concepts within a theory of sound-making resulting of Pinheiro's research „Acousmatic Foley“. In the end of the module, students can choose one of the films and write a short essay about it.
