T33 - Emotive Sound Design in Practice

How can sound give a sense of emotional perspective in cinema? Putting the audience in the shoes of a character in a story can have a powerful impact on empathy and immersion. Sound designer Anna Bertmark gives an insight into her work and the techniques used to depict the point of view of characters. Using clips from films such as God’s Own Country (for which she won the 2017 BIFA for Best Sound), Adult Life Skills, and The Goob, among others, she will talk about the reasons and ideas behind these techniques, from contact mic recording through to the final result as heard in the cinema.
