Pre production Sound ideas - Bradley Mills

Sound ideas

SCRIPT
In terms of script we will try to keep dialogue minimal in this film, the main role of speech is with the policeman as his speech will reveal the twist of the plot, the dialogue will be along the lines of 'Is your name Jack Meade?' and 'I have found your wallet sir' i have not planned this speech any further because the actor i am using as the policeman has experience in the job and will have a better idea of what to say than I do, however if what he says is not effective on camera we can try different things.

MUSIC
I was struggling to think of where and how to use music effectively in our movie, but I decided that Jack in his opening 'getting ready' scene could be seen putting on his ipod, at this point we will hear the music, I will edit the music so that the sound fades out as he moves further away from the ipod, such as the music will be louder when he is in the bedroom, when Jack goes into the bathroom for example the sound will become faded or 'Muffled' creating an effective and realistic representation of sound.
I will try gain permission to use my friend who is a music artist 'Cheikh' to use one of his songs in the sequence.

I am still unsure of how I want to use non diagetic music in the film, I believe that non diagetic music really determines the genre of the film, because we do not have a clear cut genre knowing what kind of music to use and where is a difficult question that i will not know the answer to until the post production phases of the filming.

Sound effects
Sound effects can be added also in the post production phases which can add to the overall production value of the film, but I believe the most effective way to add sound effects is when the film layout is all complete and they should be considered finishing touches.
