In this special Sound and Music Hub session, acclaimed sound professionals Eddy Joseph and Paul Davies come together for an in-depth conversation about the creative role of sound in film. Through selected case studies and clips from their work, they will explore how sound design, silence, atmosphere, dialogue, effects and music can transform the meaning and emotional impact of a scene.

Rather than focusing only on technical processes, the session will look at sound as a narrative language: how to build a sonic world, how to collaborate with directors and editors, how to decide what should be heard or withheld, and how sound can guide the audience’s experience in subtle but decisive ways.

Bringing together two distinct creative approaches, this conversation will offer filmmakers, sound professionals, composers, editors and students a rare insight into the artistic decisions behind memorable cinematic sound.
