Sound Collage - Nightmare

Sound Collage - Nightmare

For the Nightmare scene we decided to create another sound collage. We have recorded a number of different people, each saying something different and violent. we have recorded them as it was they were speaking to them, by doing this it makes the attack on Alisha much more personal. We gathered a number of different comments, some from teachers, some from girls and some from boys.

After we recorded the different insults and violent phrases, i edited each sound individually on soundwave, i changed the tempo, pitch, volume, and created echos on each of the sounds. by doing this it creates an abstract feel and makes the sounds more interesting.

Once I had edited the sound files, i was able to put them all together and create the final sound collage. The master layer is a soft laughter creating a sense of immaturity and cruelty, the rest of the sound files are introduced slowly and then followed by an explosion of sounds each shouting something  horrible towards Alisha, this creates tension and shows the stress that is building inside of her, this nightmare scene introduces the theme of bullying and neglect to the film and allows the audience an inside as to what to expect later on in the film.
