In order to glide through the vast amount of work required to meet the deadline, we took it upon ourselves to delegate certain tasks towards completing the audio for the VT. After a successful ADR session yesterday replacing poorly recorded location sound and narration, it has been decided that Danielle will edit the recordings to a high standard before passing them back to me for mix. She is also creating a series of Lynchian styled ‘drones’ so when it is required, we can pick the most suitable to blend, emulate and heighten the emotion of the scene.

Forest Scene

I will be concentrating on music composition for the ‘forest scene’, developing musical themes and continuing to mix the banquet scene with reference to the film production stylings of Pans Labyrinth. This kind of forward-thinking, planning and job delegation will be critically applied until the film is complete in order to fully utilise time in a professional and productive manner.

Tracking of MIDI

The following scene details a musical idea to transport the lead character, Susie through a whimsical and mystical forest of her imagination to the point where she encounters a terrifying witch. Keeping with the orchestral-fantasy genre, I once again utilised a similar orchestration of instruments to the main lullaby theme to strike a sense of sonic continuity. Notice the sinister underbelly here to insinuate the mysterious beauty of the forest but also to suggest that something isn’t quite right.
