Soundtrack pro Screen Shots

 Sounds were recorded in a basement and an empty nightclub, which provided natural ambience.

A directional rifle mic was used to capture sounds in mono, and a Rode NT4 was used for stereo recordings.

'Sense of Space' Outline

The soundscape begins with the creaking of a large metal door being dragged open. The flick of a switch follows and the buzz of light bulbs flaring on overhead travels into the distance, giving a scale to the setting. A blindfolded man is dragged into the empty warehouse and a chair screeches on the concrete floor as it is pulled up. The man is taped to the chair and his captor walks off into a distant part of the warehouse with his footsteps echoing into silence. Water drips from the roof and the sound of machinery hums in the distance. The man struggles with his binds desperately with no luck. The captor returns and liquid is poured all around and over the man as he grunts in desperation through his gag. The empty container is dropped to the floor and rattles into silence. The grinding strike of a match igniting ends the piece

Possible 'Sense of Space' ideas/inspirations

Surreal ambient radio programme 'Blue Jam' parodies the documentarys typical of late night radio shows and creats a vivid image of the setting using monologues with subtle background sounds and music.

 Doing a satire similar to those of Chris Morris would be amusing but ultimately difficult to pull off successfully, especially without seeming like a lesser imitation.

On the Hour, Morris' radio news spoof also features effective comedic pieces and builds imaginative soundscapes...

How Long is a Piece of String?

When discussing ideas for the Edale shoot, we were initially going to approach it in a documentary style. We opted instead to include a narrative as this would make for a more engaging piece that an audience could connect with, as opposed to a series of abstract location shots with nothing to tie them together. The narrative simply depicts a man as he follows a piece of string that he comes across. What starts as an exhilarating quest for him soon turns into a frustrating struggle as the strings path becomes more arduous. The journey ends when the string leads him back to the original starting point, much to the mans dismay. The basic premise enabled us to create dynamic shots using the string in a number of ways, and having never been to Edale we were able to draw up some simple story boards that could be applied to several locations.
We opted to give the film a comical tone rather than take a morbid approach.
