Sound

My project is rather unique in that it is a music video. This means that no dialogue or diegetic sound is needed, all audio in the project will be the song (Far Away). Luckily I have done some similar work to this before, giving me some experience on how to make a piece without any dialogue. 

The main thing that I have to remember when making a film with no dialogue is to focus on the characters actions instead of their words. The audience has to be able to see how a character is feeling and what they are thinking simply by their expression and how they are behaving. Since we do not have access to world class acting talent the physical side of the characters has to be much more obvious and exaggerated, while also not looking silly. This will be one of the main challenges for us when we are making the music video. 

Traditionally, music is used in a scene to help dictate the tempo and the mood. I want to try and carry that over to our project, showing a sun kissed vista when the music swells and a damp and dark night when the tempo slows back down.
