Filmvolumen

Filmvolumen is a measure used in the film industry to describe the volume of sound a film's soundtrack is broadcast with. It is the average loudness of the entire film, measured in decibels (dB) and expressed as an XXXX level, where XXXX is the value. This value is calculated using a specific formula that averages the loudness of all audio levels throughout the film.

The purpose of the filmvolumen measurement is to ensure that the soundtrack of a film does not exceed a certain level, avoiding distortion or excessive loudness that might be uncomfortable or even harmful to the audience. Filmvolumen is typically measured using the LUFS (Loudness Unit relative to Full Scale) scale, which takes into account the psychoacoustic aspects of human hearing to provide a more accurate representation of perceived loudness.

Filmvolumen is a requirement for many broadcasting and distribution platforms, including television networks and streaming services. It is often used in conjunction with other audio standards, such as Dolby Digital or DTS, to ensure that the film's soundtrack meets the technical and quality requirements of the platform. Additionally, filmvolumen measurement can help filmmakers to achieve a specific audio design goal, such as creating a softer or more dynamic soundtrack.

The filmvolumen measurement is usually performed by a qualified audio engineer or a sound mixing professional, who uses specialized equipment and software to calculate the average loudness of the soundtrack. The resulting value is then used as a reference point to adjust the audio levels during the film's mixing and mastering process.
