Explicit Commentaries and Implicit Designs: The evolving role of post-production sound in mainstream documentary

Rhys Davies

Department of Media Arts

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The article, focusing exclusively on sound design, examines how technology has defined the shape and structure of mainstream documentary production through three distinct eras: The Post Sound Dubbing (1930-1939). Location Sound Origination (1960-2000). The Digital Domain (2000). It also looks at the potential of creative sound design in contemporary commercial documentary and presents a modern production aesthetic that concentrates on sound design as a means to convey a distilled evocative realism, rather than the representational naturalism of location sound recording
