Constructing Narratives Through Sound Design: Use of Dolby Technologies

Sound is half the picture. Sound has always been an essential storytelling tool for content creators and a vital part of the viewer’s experience. Sound, music and dialogue are powerful tools to take a viewer into the psyche of a character. They can give the audience a greater sense of immersion, and serve as a recurring element in the story.

Planning the sound design right from day one of script-writing or conceptualizing means you can lend each environment a greater sense of identity, more meticulously plan shots and overall make sound an active player in the development of the narrative.

Join Bhaskar Pal, Content Services Engineer from Dolby Laboratories as he sheds light on the intricacies of sound design and the role it plays in film, broadcast and in other content services.
