On 27th November, our class is attending the Oxfordshire Schools Film Festival. This gives us the opportunity to view other short films produced by local students, as well as share some of our schools work.
There is also a Q&A with Niv Adiri, an Oscar award winning sound engineer, who has worked on films such as Gravity, 127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire and many more. This is an exciting chance to talk to someone who is literally at the top of their field. In preparation for this, we were asked to think of some questions to ask Adiri.
Because both Gravity and 127 Hours have to craft moments of complete isolation, I think it would be interesting to ask about how Adiri manipulates sounds to get that feeling of abandonment. For example in the scene below, the build and the drops of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds to create a powerful atmosphere -
The way the sound and the cinematography work together create stunning and emotive scenes, leading to other questions such as do you work on the visuals before adding sounds or do they work on them simultaneously,
This will all be very useful for my project, as although I am using a music track, thinking about the way I can use the sound and beat to emphasise my video and key shots and scenes will be a really helpful idea to discuss and think about.
