Explicit commentaries and implicit designs: The evolving role of post-production sound in mainstream documentary

Abstract This article, focusing exclusively on sound design, examines how technology has defined the shape and structure of mainstream documentary production through three distinct eras: The Post-Sound Dubbing (1930–1959). Location Sound Origination (1960–2000). The Digital Domain (2000–). It also looks at the potential of creative sound design in contemporary commercial documentary and presents a modern production aesthetic that concentrates on sound design as a means to convey a distilled evocative realism, rather than the representational naturalism of location sound recording.
