Sound

Sound was discussed a lot throughout the process of making our film. In Laurens there is no sound or music; just her dialogue can be heard. We wanted this to be uncomfortable for the audience to watch, so it would make them pay attention to the seriousness and brutality of someone living with an eating disorder. Jessicas' part had 'homely' sounds. For example you can hear the TV, hoover and the couple washing up. There are parts where the only sound is again the characters speaking, which again makes the audience focus on what they are saying. Lornas' section has the most amount of sound and music. There is constant music played over the acting. Born slippy - Underground  is the song that the audience will be able to hear. This song was also used in Trainspotting; a british film that is about a drug addict. The background party sounds are lowered, and the little dialogue used in this section has been made louder above everything else. In my filming I had only the sound of the tumbledryer and whatever noise Chenice made when cleaning around the kitchen. I had a fair amount of dialogue as parts of it was filmed as an interview. There is also a voiceover that is played during certain parts. When the end credits run, the Born Slippy song is played again but at a higher volume.
