Having chosen your film, please update your blog by posting a still of your film choice, the title, director and year it was made. Please write a paragraph about why you chose the film, what it is about and how you are approaching the sound design.
After having a look at some possible choices for a sound design exercise, I came up with a couple of them, from which I’m not really sure which one I’ll be finally choosing. However, I’m thinking that I could be using a combination of them, in order to achieve a multi tonal piece of experimental film where I would make use of diverse techniques that we’re learning during this term as well as enhance my creativity and even video editing skills. Here is a short description about each of the films I found.
This one is my favourite so far for some reason, it’s a 2013 conceptual film from Dennis Didinger, a German filmmaker. I love the urban takes and there is also some scenes where sound design takes importance so I think it would fit really well with what I want to do.
65 is a Sci-fi film released this year by director Adam Drive, and music by Chris Bacon. This would fit really well for a more traditional film sound design and score exercise.
Hidden is an amazing short film created by Uygar Genc in 2022. Surprisingly, the same director is composing the score and the sound. I love the nature environment, would be great for some Foley sounds.
This is a 1974 experimental film by Margaret Tait and my choice from the proposed films for the unit. I’m delighted by the vintage look of it, the original music and looks good for some sound design too. I think that I’ll be combining some scenes from this film for my project.
