Sound Deconstruction

Deconstructing the scenes of the Shutter Island Trailer, the scenes are shot first, then the actual sound is recorded. In the scenes where Di Caprio is in action the ambient sound is constant but gets dominated by sound effects in the early start of a scene. Since this is a movie made on a larger scale than Paranormal Activity, the sounds ‘squealing people’, ‘shooooses’ and ‘sounds that fills time and space’ are used in the movie as Dicaprio realizes he is a part of the mental institution in segment 1.26-2:06.


Compared to the scene of the 6th October 2006 in Paranormal Activity where the girl gets the blanket blown over her, the background sound is clear and fills up the gap of silence by being filled of ‘activity’ sounds. The editor has done a great job here, filming first and then adding sound.

In terms for the group project, the sound scapes will be done after the shooting. During our movie parties we’re all brainstorming and contributing to the first creation of sounds before Goi does so.
