Filmmaker Alan Seawright does a deep dive on sound design - what it is, how it works, and why it's important. He takes a look at two films with very different sound design, a "big" sound design scene from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and a "small" sound design scene from A Quiet Place. Let us know in the comments what other deep dives you'd like to see from Alan!

These deep dives are amazing for those who want to do something in film and maybe don’t know what all’s out there. Really good (but couldn’t go too loud as I wasn’t watching with headphones 😇…)

Thanks so much for doing this, Alan! I love to learn about all of the different facets of telling great stories. I hadn't thought about that intent behind the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort but I remembered that feeling when I watched the clip and having you put words to it made it click instantly for me. I'd love to see a wide variety of technical topics, costumes, make up, lighting, camera angles and the length of a shot, props, sets, I wanna hear about all of it!
