Professional Practice: Location Sound Recording Workshop for Artists

This one-day course led by Edward Lucas will introduce participants to location sound recording practice. The techniques and concepts learned will be fundamental to artists working in film, and mixed media, seeking to improve their experience and understanding in sound.
During the course of the day, participants will be given a practical overview to a range of microphones and recorders, many of which can be cheaply and readily available. This will include a bit of time making recordings outdoors in Waterlow Park and the surrounding area, as well as experimenting with the range of equipment that will be to hand. There will be a brief introduction towards audio post-production and working with video, though the main focus of this session will be on location work. This is the first workshop to take place in LUX’s new home in Waterlow Park, North London.
