SMPTE Australia Section in conjunction with Australian Screen Sound Guild brings you
Ioan Allen on Cinema Loudness
Join your SMPTE and industry colleagues for a treat: Ioan Allen discusses loudness in movies.
How loud is a movie? A work in progress... exploring a new metric to quantify the subjective loudness of an entire theatrical movie.
Procedures exist to measure and constrain the levels of theatrical trailers, but have not been applied to entire movies. This work uses levels above a threshold, integrated to derive an equivalent sound level (Leq) over a ten minute sliding window: "Leq(m10)".
The procedure does not constrain feature film levels, but does provide a method to measure the subjective level of a movie's perceived volume so that any constraints desired may be applied by the director and sound crew at the mix stage!
Places are limited and you MUST register to attend. SMPTE members, ASSG members and related guild members may bring a guest, but you will not be admitted without a registration, so do it now.
