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. Although this question is seemly harmful in everyday life, for a pregnant women, this is a consequential question and this film investigate the internal debate of the woman, Anna, and the reasons to and not.

The Fly - Olly Williams

The Fly (2015), directed by Olly Williams, is a comedic short following the wait of a getaway driver for a bank robbery.  While waiting, the getaway driver becomes more and more irritable by a fly in his car, he begins with mild annoyance until by the end of the short, he is driven crazy and furious over this fly.  Throughout his rage and extreme reaction, his 3 parters are looting the bank next to the car.  The Fly subverts and challenges our expectations of this type of heist genre of films by changing to focus of the film and creating comedy in this overreaction, that later costs him and ruins the heist. Genre - Crime, Action, Comedy Sound - Sound is key in this film as the film has little to no dialogue at all and it is pinnacle to the depiction of the story. To begin, a sound bridge is used with a black screen shown, the sound of guns cocking and  one of the criminals saying 'right boys, 3 minutes, Go, Go, Go'. This sets the scene instantly establishes the sto...
