FSMS course

As part of their postgraduate training in sound engineering, FSMS students undertake several work placements in companies and a compulsory 2-month placement in the Conservatoire's audiovisual department. Validation of the internship in the audiovisual department is a prerequisite for obtaining the Master's degree in music and sound engineering and entitles students to 20 ECT credits.

Objectives

- To impart in-depth knowledge of the professions targeted by the postgraduate training in sound engineering (recording production, music creation, live performance and music broadcasting)

- To impart a sound knowledge of the realities of the professional world

- Develop the ability to integrate into a team - find your place

- Work alongside the department's sound engineers to perfect sound recording and post-production techniques

- Validate a career plan in line with the FSMS course and possibly specialise in a particular sector of activity

- Understand and fit into a team, a professional organisation (responsibility, hierarchy, pooling, sharing)

- Understand and respect the planning of an audiovisual project

- Understand and respect work standards

Internships are organised for each student as part of a partnership with the Conservatoire's audiovisual department. Each placement is governed by an agreement and gives rise to a meeting with the head of the department, his or her assistant and the head of the audiovisual department to :

- clarify the content of the placement and set objectives

- check that the placement is consistent with the student's level and availability

- establish the content of any placement reports to be submitted

- enable any adjustments to be made for the final dissertation.

- facilitate the integration of the results and productions achieved during these placements into the student's "production projects". (book)

- Sound engineer, responsible for the recording quality of an audio or audiovisual project

- Sound engineer, responsible for the sound system of a public event organised at the Conservatoire

- Artistic director, responsible for the quality of artistic production of a musical project carried out at the Conservatoire.

- Musical advisor to the director

-Sound assistant

Organisation of working time:

- In line with production schedules

- During the day, evenings, including weekends and school holidays

- In accordance with project deadlines.

- Trainees are entitled to 5 days off during the course. This leave is subject to approval by the department manager.

- At the start of the placement, the department manager will assign a series of projects to the trainee, and other projects will be planned as the placement progresses.

- All the assignments will be carried out within the framework of the internship.

- All assignments will be finalised and handed in before the end of the internship.

Evaluation of the placement :

An evaluation form on the achievement of each objective and the student's behaviour within the structure will be sent to each tutor.

This feedback can be consulted by the student.
