Sound Recording for Film and Television
This course is only open to UK and EEA applicants

15-month course - next intake September 2012

This course - the only one of its kind in the UK - has been developed in response to film and television industry demands for suitably trained production sound professionals. It offers an unrivalled opportunity to learn the practical skills required for a career in this field, and covers
  • location sound recording techniques for single film or video camera

  • sound production for multi-camera television

  • music recording in the studio and on location
Workshops alternate with productions so that conceptual elements such as sound theory, electronics, and equipment operating principles are put into immediate practice on shoots or in the studio. To enhance their understanding of the role sound plays in moving image production, students are also introduced to the post production process, and extend this knowledge working as part of the Television Graduation sound post-production team.

Now well-established, the Sound Recording Diploma course enjoys an excellent reputation within the Industry and each year’s students rapidly find work on completing the course. Graduates have been employed as sound assistants and boom operators on recent television productions including Ashes to Ashes, Midsomer Murders, Lewis, New Tricks, Holby City, Cranford, Jane Eyre, Gavin & Stacey, Life Begins, Judge John Deed, Downton Abbey, Fresh Meat, Spooks and Merlin.
