Today myself, Jordan and Christine ventured down to the dungeons, again, to edit through our work and pay some attention to sound, a critical element of our work and one that will heighten the visual cues.
Christine being our sound gal, had started to collected some sound effects as well as edit through our atmos.
Sound for a thriller is the line drawn between it being a parody and something to be taken seriously. For us sound is essential because this process involves editing in the girl voice which is essential to the overall narrative structure of the film.
Today we really got stuck into what effect we wont the sound to create for the viewer, how sound will heighten suspense as well as create a mood and hopefully distract viewers from the grain that is all over our footage.
When watching our footage with sound it changed the way I reacted to it, bringing the whole thing to life particularly considering there are scenes with little dialogue sound is able to bring forth another dimension.
I also was inspired by other films and their sound, particularly Donnie Darko which often uses warped sounds and is a film that completely draws the viewer in as well as warping their sense of time and reality, which hopefully we will also be able to achieve.
Donnie Darko actually has one of the most amazing sound tracks as well as cinetmography moments that have resined with me years after first seeing the film in literature class circa 2008.
(there is a very strange remake version online- it was the only one I could find)
