Sound and Music on Your
Independent Film Project
with Daniel Janke
at Yukon SOVA, 3 rd and Queen
A common pitfall with independent films lies in sound production value. Bad
sound quality can take your audience out of the viewing experience. This short
workshop is designed to share a few tricks and strategies to getting good sound
with whatever resources you have to work with. The workshop will also share
ideas about music use, and information to demystify the music licensing process.
Topics to be explained and/or discussed include:

• RECORDING ON LOCATION

• MIXING AND EDITING IN YOUR DAW ENVIRONMENT

• CHOOSING MUSIC / CONSIDERING THE ROLE OF MUSIC

• FINDING AND OWNING MUSIC
