T14 - Immersed by Emotions: Film Music in Auro3D
Presenter:Patrick Lemmens, Galaxy Studios - Mol, Belgium
Abstract:
The emotions in a film are crafted to a large extent by the music; a film without music has a cold and sterile feeling to it, while the music that exclusively accompanies a silent film is able to affect the feelings of the audience in practically any way desired by the composer. The third dimension of sound reproduction—which is added to the conventional 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound in cinema by using the different Auro3D formats—provides a fully immersive experience to the audience and gives them the impression of being in the middle of the action; especially the music plays an important role in establishing this immersive feeling, as the 3D format offers extended possibilities for creating the desired emotions to the composer and the music engineer.
