The Auditory Setting: Environmental Sounds in Film and Media Arts



English | ISBN: 1474474381 | 224 pages | PDF | 1 MB

The Auditory Setting introduces and investigates how narrative and a sense of place are constructed in film and media arts through the reproduction and mediation of site-specific environmental sounds, or ‘ambience’. Although this sonic backdrop acts as the acoustically mediated space where a story or event can take place, there has been little academic study of sound’s undervalued role in cinematic setting and production.
