[edit] Radical article idea

So I have a radical idea, it came from seeing the merge tag at the top of the film section. Maybe we should make sound design be a basic articles about sound design and then create seperate sound design (film) and sound design (theatre) articles? I may be completly misunderstanding it, but aren't theater sound and film sound two completely different theories? If I'm wrong I'm wrong, but I think this could benifit both the stagecraft project and the filmmaking project as we won't be fighting over ideas and concepts. Anyone else have any thoughts? --Lekogm 00:42, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Sounds logical to me... Charlie Richmond 20:54, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Sound design in both film and theatre have the same basic premise. You're interpreting a written piece of work and emphasing portions of that work. This gives the audience a heightened view of the work. In both film and theatre, the sound acts to reveal a setting; emphasis a mood; focus the audience to a specific location or to enhance the sound on stage/in the film. The qualities of sound, role of the designers and recording/finding/building effeccts are basically the same. The differences lie in the presentation of the final design and the amount of sound that goes into it. Film needs to have sound for everything that happens on screen, theatre has it's own atmosphere, it just uses enhancements. I think that the basic sound design should have it's own page, then sub catagories for film and theatre. The film people could help contribute to the section. The stuff that doesn't fit both can go in a sub-catagory. I just think that sound in both fields are close enough that we will be repeating a lot of information. Humhead 01:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References?

So... I contributed a large amount to this article based on my own personal involvement with this craft and contributed based on my own knowledge. How does one reference that? Charlie Richmond (talk) 05:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
