Workshop
"Sonic Layers of Storytelling: Building Characters with Music and Sound" - a soundtrack concept development workshop by European Film Academy member, composer Balázs ALPÁR (HU)
More about the workshop
The workshop focuses on the communicative power of musical genres in film, also exploring how it can go beyond setting moods to fulfill complex storytelling functions. Participants will learn to analyze music in various media, understand the use of image-sound clichés, and organize sound layers for clarity and impact. The session delves into the art of telling subtextual stories with sound, building tension, and shaping story arcs through music dramaturgy. The program also explores how different sound layers and musical domains can express character. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will develop sound concepts, create music briefs, and learn to communicate effectively with composers. The interactive workshop brings these ideas to life with playful exercises, like microphone-looping, body percussion, and translating visual elements and character traits into musical expressions.
interactive workshop, exercises include:
- producing sounds and loops with simple instruments such as parts of our body - exploring chaos and discipline in the sonic world
- giving sound reactions to picture – translating colors, shapes, visual concepts, characters’ personal traits to the language of music
- developing stories from sound (and vice versa)
- sound concept development and music briefing exercises
- telling secondary stories (sub-text) with sounds
- how to talk about music – basic terminology for an effective director-composer communication - main title soundtracks – matching quiz game - creating tension with music and sound
- story arcs, transformations and music dramaturgy – incorporating foley and found sound in soundtracks
