Anna Bertmark: Introduction to Sound Design for Film

Ever wondered who creates the sound for everything we watch? Award-winning sound designer Anna Bertmark (Attic Sound) gives the lowdown on her profession, from how her career began and how she works today to how you too can get started. Focusing on film, she’ll explain who’s who in a sound department and how they work with directors, and will demystify the process of layering cinematic audio, using examples from her own work on acclaimed films including God’s Own Country and Adult Life Skills.

The seminar is the seventh of 12 online events featuring musical artists and audio professionals running throughout 2021 as part of Level Up In Audio. This YSWN project aims to inspire, grow and sustain the skills and creative opportunities of women and people of minority genders who have an interest in music and technology and whose work and professional development have been curtailed by the coronavirus pandemic.

The seminar will take place via Zoom; attendees will receive a private link through the email used for booking in advance of the event. Tickets are free and space is limited.

Anna will speak for around 60 minutes, with around 30 minutes open for audience questions and discussion.
As part of YSWN’s Level Up in Audio project this seminar series is intended for an audience of women and people of minority genders – we ask that you respect this when booking tickets and do not deny someone else a place if you are not among this group. We plan to record the seminar for sharing online with a wider audience at a later date.
