Student film by Jeremy Bowditch

My responsibilities on this project included: recording and editing dialogue, dffects, and ambient music. Had to also edit the music to experience the sense of movement and three dimensionality. From the start, the music punches out to catch the attention. It then quickly disappears, almost completely silent, until it gradually builds up as the character reaches the door. When he opens the door the music is twisted and he is pulled into the emptiness.

Intermediate sound design exercise

This project was a class assignment to create an emotion with a given clip. With my concept, I used the combination of alienating music and irregular sound effects to create tension which follows the tension given in the clip. This music used in this clip is "Area 5" from Rez.
