TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESSES OF SOUND MAKING IN AUDIOVISUAL WORK

Abstract

The relevance of the article. The article explores technological processes of creating sound accompaniment in audiovisual works and points out main categories that expose a panoramic picture of these processes. The soundtrack in relation to a motion picture is a flexible, modern structure with a large number of components. There is a number of technical means for reproducing sound accompaniment in audiovisual work. More than a hundred years ago, when it was necessary to make works of fine art more affecting and impressive with the help of sound, they used to fall back on acoustic musical instruments, which were part of various types of orchestras. Noise sounds were also widely used. At the same time, the development of audio–visual interaction in motion picture took place. Eventually, this process began to include technologies based on the use of vinyl records, discs, films and tape recordings. Today, they are replaced by the latest, rapidly updated digital equipment that enhances and expands the possibilities of sound in audiovisual work The purpose of the article is to reveal and systematize the main components of the technological process of reproducing sound accompaniment in a motion picture, as well as, generalize results in graphical form, showing a panoramic view of this process. Research methods of studying technological processes of sound production in audiovisual work are: system-analytical (investigating sources that reveal these prosesses, their comparative analysis and systematization) and generalizing (investigating origins of the main categories and exposing a panoramic picture of these processes). Conclusions. The work summarizes information on the technology of sound field creation, main categories that make up this process (sound as a unit of musical information and a core of the background composition; engineering equipment and a group of specialists responsible for sound recording), principles of sound sources processing (methods of working with sounds and effects), structural categories (holistic background compositions) and methods of implementation, the effectiveness of technological processes in creating sound design. The article outlines the author’s concept of creating soundtrack in audiovisual work as a scientific and practical process and gives prospects for its development.
