I managed to find a copy of the original script online. I found a few things that the script indicates that the visuals don’t. I don’t want to exactly follow the original film and try to replicate the original, but what I want to do is to realise my own interpretation of the instructions as if I received the brief.
Some things that stand out to me that I will note when doing foley or sound editing/mixing.
This part of the script, it speaks about no sound. And the contrast between silence and changing between. noise appearing quickly. I will note the no sound for the introduction. I’m also curious about sound design elements that aren’t atmosphere. I was thinking about whether I wanted to add synths and small noises to create suspense. I know for sure I don’t want to add music but I feel there might be room for synthesisers mildly when tensions rise.
I like that they specifically say this is the first deliberate sound we’ve heard. It helps me on the mixing stages for sure. I need to think about how delicate everything is going to be to contrast this noise. As they are being almost completely silent. I can’t forget about the wide and closeup scenes with the sound being louder with more detail when closeup.
Here it speaks on the characters being barefoot and the type of running as well. Running lightly. standing on her toes. a few other things that help us understand more than the visuals might show.
This is the last part of the script relating to the clip I’ve chosen. The scriptwriters have used capital letters to emphasise the tension in the clips and perhaps the noise as well as mentioned in the Indiewire blog. This helps to tell me where and when I should be creating or perhaps increasing the floor volume of the overall track volume.
