By reading scientific and technological documentation, students learn about current international research. As well as helping them to understand technical English, this regular practice also gives them an opportunity to reflect on the sound professions. Every year, students attend conferences and workshops at the AES congress, and meet international researchers and professionals.

After a brief theoretical approach that presents the context in which today's filmed music projects are produced (resources, human and technical organisation, production constraints, etc.), in order to shed light on the difficulties and issues involved in working together to make a successful recording of music to image, the course is based on a series of exercises that are highly representative of the difficulties associated with the presence of image recording at the same time as sound recording. These exercises, taken from complex, real-life projects, will cover all the stages involved in completing a project.
