Review

Chion is the leading French cinema scholar to study the sound track.I know of no writer in any language to have published as much in this area, and of such uniformly high quality as he. -- Alan Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, January 10, 2002
This is the best book I have seen so far on theories for sound design. I used it for my graduate design research thesis 4 years ago at Carnegie Mellon, and I am about to require it for my students at UT next week, for a course in sound design. Chion opened up so many new ideas for me on different ways that sound affects us. Like the book itself, the forward by Walter Murch (considered by many to be a hero in film sound design) is inspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is how it works!, April 9, 2008
I consider this book a "Bible" for Motion Picture Sound Theory: Chion teaches us that also creativity has got rules and we've got to follow these rules to find the way to realize our ideas in the right way.

If you are, or want to be, a sound editor, designer or mixer, you have to read and study this book before learning any software secret: this book will help you to understand how to guide the audience expectations and feelings.

I use this book to bring the great research made by this great composer, filmmaker and teacher to my Sound Design course students.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but too long., September 23, 2004
By Shock Writer (Knoxville, Tennessee United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Good information though written in a wordy style that I disliked. Could have been shorter and had better headings to bring out the structure and information.
