I want my students to listen to film in a thoughtful and critical way. I want them to know how to talk about sound design in film. I fill my class time with the students actively listening to scenes from movies, working on projects, dealing with equipment and experimenting with common professional workflows. I want them to know the bigger picture of what goes into the track of a movie. I also want them to know how to back up their work and show up on time.
