John Warhurst and Nina Hartstone - Sound and Music Hub
24 JUN // 17:00 / Auditorium Academia de Música de Espinho
Film Industry Role: Supervising Sound Editors
Major Works: “Bohemian Rhapsody” (2018)
In this masterclass, John Warhurst and Nina Hartstone will dive into the world of music and film.
How do you create sound design that sits alongside David Bowie songs? Or turn an actor into Freddie Mercury or Whitney Houston to blend performances seamlessly into one? How do you enable an actor to sing and have every word as believable as the dialogue they speak?
From the subtlety of breaths to create realism to the scale and energy of iconic concerts, each unique project brings with it fresh and exciting challenges. In these films music and sound design live effortlessly together, supporting the emotion of the performances to create an immersive, enveloping soundtrack that modern day cinema-goers expect.
This masterclass will explore these techniques and the relationship of sound design and music.
