Sonic Style

Uploading is a very oppressive film and the sonic style needs to reflect this, the best example that I can find is the 2002 film directed by Gasper Noe, Irreversible. The opening scene shows a male running around a gay club looking for somebody, the visuals for these scenes are very strong, showing a lot of sexual content. The sound throughout is also very intense and I have found a lot of inspiration from this scene.

The scene in question is shown above, It depicts the oppressive style that we want to get across in our film. The sound in this scene is very dark and bassy, this is exactly the kind of sound that I want to use in my own design. Matching up with the visuals it is very hard to watch as an audience member. Uploading needs to be a film that the audience are going to struggle to watch and combining strong and painful visuals with a sickening sound design, this something we can achieve.

When Irreversible was shown at the 2002 Canne festival a lot of people walked out of the screening due to the brutal nature of the film. American film critic Roger Ebert was also quoted as saying; "a movie so violent and cruel that most people will find it unwatchable."
This is the kind of response that I want us to get from uploading.

Irreversible was scored by electronic producer and one half of Daft Punk; Thomas Bangalter, I found this really interesting as I'm a big fan of Daft Punk. In terms of electronic sounds this is something that I feel will play a crucial part in our film, even if it be quite minimal I want it to be very electronic in the approach.
