Unfortunately I could not find any video clips or sound extracts of this film showing the use of sound.
Although nothing to do with cooking or restaurant work when Amy & I decided that we wanted to capture a lot of sounds that creates a lot of carnage, anger & almost too much for the ears this film came straight to my mind.
I believe this film captures the sense of space of its setting extremely well. As the film is based in Queens, New York, when the main characters are walking around the city there is constant loud sound happening throughout. Sounds of:
- Screaming & arguing
- Police and ambulance sirens
- Breaking of windows & bottles
- Trash cans being knocked over
- Car horns & vehicle crashes
There is a lot more sounds as well that are all at a high volume at the same time to the point where you can hardly hear the main characters say their lines. This captures the sense of city living I believe incredibly well as it also works with the message and mood of the film. The use of the sounds and what volumes they are at creates this unbearable sense of being trapped in the city, carnage, craziness, the city that never rests or sleeps, a sense of no escape & having no peace of mind.
This is exactly the kind of sense Amy & I want to create & capture for our project as we want to create a sense of stress, anger & claustrophobia in a restaurant kitchen. Like ‘A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints’ we will layer the sounds over each other making the volumes louder & louder to put you in the chef’s stressed state of mind.
