Elokuvaäänitys, or film sound recording, is the process of capturing and manipulating audio elements for cinematic productions. This encompasses a wide range of techniques, from recording dialogue on set to creating sound effects and composing musical scores. The primary goal of film sound recording is to enhance the storytelling and emotional impact of a film, immersing the audience in the on-screen world.

On-set sound recording, often referred to as field recording, involves capturing dialogue, ambient sounds, and any live sound events as they occur during filming. This requires specialized microphones, recorders, and skilled sound recordists who can minimize unwanted noise and ensure clear audio. Boom operators play a crucial role in positioning microphones to achieve optimal sound quality without appearing in the shot.

Post-production sound recording involves several key stages. Dialogue editing focuses on cleaning up and synchronizing recorded dialogue. Sound design is the creative process of building the sonic landscape of a film, which includes adding sound effects (SFX) that range from subtle environmental noises to dramatic explosions. Foley is a specialized form of sound effect creation where sounds like footsteps, rustling clothes, and prop interactions are performed and recorded in sync with the picture. Finally, music scoring involves composing and recording original music or licensing existing tracks to underscore the narrative and emotional tone of the film. The final mix integrates all these audio elements into a cohesive soundtrack.
