Sound designer does the selective listening for audience<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mumbai :<\/strong>\u00a0 Sound has the ability to define the space and meaning. Camera only catches a picture, which is abstract, with sound its meaning is defined, said Resul Pookutty.<\/p>\n

Addressing a masterclass on \u2018Aesthetics of Sound in Cinema\u2019 at the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0Mumbai International Film Festival- MIFF 2022, Shri Pookutty said, \u201cSound generates the desired meaning in a film, as envisioned by the director.<\/p>\n

He further said that a sound designer does the selective listening for audience.\u00a0 \u201cAs a sound designer I select from umpteen numbers of sounds available with me and present a package to the audience, which becomes a holistic experience for them\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Narrating his experience of the Oscar award winning film\u00a0Slumdog Millionaire<\/em>, Shri Pookutty said, human brain processes sound in a certain way, which a sound designer must understand. \u201cI designed sound for Slumdog Millionaire on the basic idea of how a human brain processes sound? Accordingly we recorded the sound using multiple cameras and designed it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Talking about different forms of sounds used in filmmaking, the noted sound designer said, \u201cIn films we broadly use five different types of sounds which are: Production Sound, Foley sound, Ambience Sound, Designed Sound, and Music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile designing sound, we have to keep in mind, the context of story, vision of the director and socio-cultural aspects in which it is being set\u201d, he said while citing the experience of the film \u2018The Good Road\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Differentiating between a dialogue and speech, he said spoken dialogue thrown into an acoustic environment, captured by a microphone with emotion becomes a speech. \u201cWhen we deal with a dialogue in a film, we are actually trying to create a speech, which will set an emotional connection with the audience\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
