Features: This book is a pioneering work in the field of audio recording. In film and television production, "recording" has been expanded to "artistic creation of audio in film and television." The audio in film and television encompasses a wide range of aspects, involving both the objective physical properties of sound and its subjective perception. It includes not only the artistic conception of sound but also its technical production, as well as the mutual induction and interaction between sound and images, and a series of issues related to audio aesthetics. Therefore, audio in film and television is an interdisciplinary field that combines science, technology, culture, and art. It is an independent scientific discipline that spans broad areas such as physics, physiology, psychology, and aesthetics, while also possessing its own unique characteristics. Based on this understanding, the author attempts to integrate and complement the issues related to physics, physiology, psychology, and even aesthetics in audio creation for film and television, aiming to reveal the essence of sound and explore the fundamental content and principles of audio creation in this medium. The book is divided into six chapters. In addition to introducing basic concepts and theories, it strives to connect the physical properties, physiological responses, psychological effects, and aesthetic attributes of audio and its elements. It places particular emphasis on the physiological responses, psychological effects, and aesthetic experiences of the audience (subject) when exposed to sound (object), especially when it is presented in an artistic form. After introducing the objective characteristics, physiological responses, psychological effects, and aesthetic experiences of the various elements of sound, as well as the psychological process of aesthetic appreciation, the book analyzes the basic structure of audio in film and television, attempting to explore the fundamental principles of audio creation in this medium. This book can serve as a teaching reference for master's students in audio for film and television at relevant higher education institutions, as well as for audio recording professionals and other practitioners involved in film and television production.
