I’m currently working in the sound and score for a short film created by a friend of mine. I will use a scene from this film for my Sound for Screen assessment. The theme of the film is the relationship of the individual with the city, and how alienating can society be in the city life. In the scene I have chosen, the main character is traveling from his work to his house, traveling across the London underground. In the scene the audience looses the sense of time and reality because of a non linear narrative, creating the sense of loosing perception of reality.
My approach for the sound design of the film will be to contrast natural diegetic sound with experimental coded synthesis, to mirror the conflict between the main character and the city, creating a barrier of what is real and what’s not. Also the score of the film will be generative music, to convey the non-chronological order of the scene, the audience will not be able to get attached to a melodic motif in the music because it will be ever changing. I will use mainly Supercollider to create the generative music and the sound design.
