The Sound Manifesto is a set of principles to promote better sound awareness among filmmakers. The Sound Manifesto * We believe that sound plays a critical role in any movie production and deserves the same attention as photography. * We believe that sound communicates most of the story and emotional impact. * We believe that effective sound planning starts in preproduction. * We believe that movie productions should have a Director of Sound to manage and quality control the Sound Department from preproduction to postproduction. * We believe the Director, Director of Sound, Director of Photography and Art Director should work as a closely collaborative management team. * We believe that to acquire high-quality sound, the Sound Department needs the cooperation of every department key and every production team member. * We believe that to communicate the importance of high-quality sound to a production team, the Sound Department needs the active support of the Directors and Producers. History The Sound Manifesto was conceived by The Sound Manifesto organisation founder after a question was raised with the RAMPS newsgroup community in August 2000 which concluded in the writing of "An Open Letter From Your Sound Department" by John Coffey and his colleagues ; See Also * Director of audiography * Filmmaking
