Sound Planning

Sound Ideas

-     Beginning with fade out of party sound as girl shuts the door 

-       Diegetic sound as the girl is walking to the train station, footsteps x2, cars driving in the distance, distant sound of party, wind etc

-       Title sequence - sound of the train announcement, closing doors, sound bridge into music as train moves off, eerie music

-       Putting headphones in on the train - distant sound of the music playing in her ears - 2 songs - continues until she begins to realise the man

-       Sounds of texting are heard as she is scrolling through the phone

-       Once shots of man are shown, headphones fade out and eerie music begins again

-       Gaining tempo and volume as the scene become more tense (running away).

-       Shuts the door - sound cuts out, hear him shout and bang on the door, her fast breathing as she begins to calm - her getting up and looking at the peephole

-       Shots of him through the peephole, turning around, diegetic sound only, 

-       Shot of his back and the ‘revenge’ girls - music begins again momentarily

-       Cuts to black screen - music fades

The Arrival - Daniel Montanarini

The Arrival (2016) directed by Daniel Montanarini, is a short film around a pregnant women, sitting in a cafe waiting for the father of the baby to show up. The basis of this film is off her decision on whether to get a decaf or caffeine coffee, a voiceover depicts her thoughts in this pinnacle decision as she also is decided at the same time whether to keep her baby or not and this decision of which coffee impacts her decision.

Over - John Threlfall

Over (2015) is film that follows a crime scene, based on a true life event in a small neighbourhood, however, does so in reverse chronological order. The film begins with a slow shot of a quiet residential road in the late evening, shown by time stamps in the bottom left hand corner.

Throughout the film, we are left wondering how the man ended up there, an attack or a fight, the audience does not find until the shocking last shot of the film, a...
