Seminar in Film Sound
Dir. Steven Eastwood. 16mm. 10 min, looped UK/USA 2007
Performer: Kana
A film production student presents a seminar on the relationship between dialogue, musical score and environmental sound/added sound effects in the fiction film. During her presentation there are long periods of silence where she pauses for thought, and these gaps produce attenuations of sound in the class and in the ear of the viewer. The film camera tracks around the speaker in ten timed revolutions, each pass behind the college chalkboard introducing new micro changes of behaviour in the room.
