The Sounds of Scorsese, Hitchcock and Other Directors Explored in Amping It Up
Egyptian Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
Behold the colossal importance of sound in movies. Amping It Up: Sound Design In Cinema finds film consultant Thomas Ethan Harris liberating the audio from an array of film clips, showing how it profoundly affects the viewing of work by such masters as Martin Scorsese, Alfred Hitchcock and Spike Jonze. When you really listen to a film, Harris argues, you’ll notice fascinating phenomena such as the way music guides the narrative, how silence becomes the equivalent of a freeze frame and how sound montage creates meaning both inside and outside of an image sequence. He will encourage an open dialogue with the audience, letting the clips facilitate a conversation on what it means to truly listen to cinema.
