Sound man


What is a picture without sound? What would a film be without it? I created a bar out of wood panels and through the sound I made this bar come to life. I fight for equal sound status. Sound can alter perception of time, adds unseen objects to the image and gives depth beyond what mere pictures can show. I aim to create sound tracks such as predator that creates a whole world, for example in predator the sound and music are the main thing showing the predators personality without seeing it on screen, this gives the audience the atmosphere and the intense feeling of it's presence. I had a small crew where I allocated a boom microphone so no wires were shown. On this production I was constantly checking the levels of the microphones this was important so the sound didn’t go of the scale. Atmosphere is key for bringing a set to life.
