This project dissects the many aspects of the soundscape, including dialogue, sound effects and foley, Atmos and music and how they work together to create an immersive environment. The aim of this thesis is to answer the question of how sound and music can aid audience immersion in a short film.
This paper details the process behind the production of a short film, in which an immersive soundscape was produced. From pre-production planning to production recording, scoring and post-production mixing, the thesis follows the film through pre-production, production and post-production, detailing the steps taken to build a convincing soundscape. As well as this, the project tests the effectiveness of the work, based on audience feedback.
Composer, producer and sound designer from Dublin. I specialise in sound and music for film, particularly animation. Studying Creative Music Production has allowed me to combine my interests in film, media and music, with my thesis researching the connection between narrative, sound and music in film.
