REFLECTION

My goals this lesson as the head of sound is to:

• Go through the script and comment on ambience, music, sound effects
• List any foley and consider how I will record these sounds.

Ambience: 

• Creepy ambience that builds for introductory shot of Johnny at desk (Scene 1).
• Menacing ambience for reveal of Delilah and Noel (Scene 2).
• Unsettling ambience for Lenny's entrance (Scene 3).
  (Options: "The Way" by Zack Hempsey, "The Gentle Hum of Anxiety", etc.)
• Ambience of waves crashing on shore.

Music: 

• Smooth office jazz as background for Scene 2.
• Soft seductive jazz as entrance music for Delilah Ho in Scene 2.
• Dreamy music for Johnny's dialogue Scene 3.
• Sneaky detective music for execution of Lenny's plan in Scene 4 and the start of Scene 5.
• Melancholy jazz OR melancholy piano instrumental as flashback music for Delilah's backstory in Scene 6.
• Existential crisis music for Johnny's mental breakdown in Scene 6.
• Calm music for Johnny's realization in Scene 6.
• Threatening music for Delilah's revenge monologue in Scene 6.
