StoryFutures Academy- Writing For Binaural Audio, 22nd and 24th June 2022

StoryFutures Academy Writers Rooms have been established to train writers and content creators for the immersive future. Writers Rooms will draw in writers and ideas generators from across sectors and disciplines to explore the possibilities of immersive technologies.

Immersive binaural sound is emerging as a key element of immersive content production, but how do writers conceptualise what makes an engaging binaural audio story?

StoryFutures Academy invites writers of all backgrounds with little to no immersive binaural audio experience to join a two half-days ‘Writing For Immersive Binaural Audio Lab’ which will cover the following:

  1. An introduction to the binaural audio technology and how it is used
  2. How spatial audio can impact a listener’s journey through the story
  3. Examples of how spatial storytelling can be used (including location specific trails)
  4. Binaural audio writing exercise with feedback from spatial audio experts.

This lab takes place over two remote half-days over Zoom. Participant numbers are limited to 8 spaces to ensure participants get time for 1-2-1 feedback and there is a gap between both half day sessions to allow for project work. To apply, please complete the application form. Places will be allocated in accordance with our selection criteria. Applicants must be available to attend both labs dates. These Labs are free to attend and we receive a high volume of applications, therefore there is no guarantee on receiving a place and we will not be able to provide application feedback.
