Charlotte's Dream
​
This scene of the film contains a number of layers that shows the character's past, emotions, dynamics, and foreshadowing for the scenes to come. This specific scene is very integral to the film and therefore it needed a very rich sound design. In this scene, I attempted to create strong and balanced layers of dialogue, sfx, background, and music, while blending them all together to create a dream feel to the scene. The sound effects, background, and music are meant to co-exist in a sense of fluidity that seems more like a memory than reality.
Enter Danny
​
This is the first time in the film that we see the main character interact with another character. This scene is very crucial in portraying the state of mind of the character. I created an atmosphere in this scene that is meant to mirror the character's emotion. It is a quite somber and silent atmosphere, but in order to achieve the kind of silence I wanted, I had to add some distant sound effects here and there and some background noises in order for the silence to work with the dialogue and characters.

Fear of Not Knowing
​
As one of the more ethereal and meditative part of the film, this scene called for a very layered soundscape. In this section, I created a very otherworldly feel by using real-world sound effects and background. I've made the sounds subtly reverberant and blended it with the music. I chose the sounds very carefully so that they all stay true to the tone I was trying to convey. The disembodied voices needed to be as clean as possible so that they feel more like a narration rather than a recorded interview.
We Went Our Separate Ways
​
In this film's climax, we get as personal as we can get with the subjects. This scene needed to be as raw and natural as possible to stay true to the subject's emotions. I spent a substantial amount of time editing dialogue in this part of the film, the dialogues had to sound clear but I wanted to leave all the imperfections (all the clicks, breaths, etc.) in as much as I can so that the scene feels as realistic as possible. Less is more is a very valid statement when it came to this part of the film, this scene had to carry itself with only dialogue and room tone. Having said that, those layers needed to be as refined as possible.
