ABSTRACT

Whilst the Four Sound Areas framework centres on a proposition that the emotional aspect to moving picture sound design is invaluable to the enhancement and articulation of a Director’s vision, it is fair to say that not all Directors are necessarily as enthusiastic about the meticulous process by which their soundtracks are created, as they are about shooting and editing their pictures. Albert enters the building and people start to hear the hubbub of a distant yet sizeable crowd, again held low in the mix. The music changes tempo, quickening the pace as Albert follows the group at a discrete distance, choosing to divert unnoticed from the party through a side door, once he is inside the building. Albert lightly says that he is going into town, but when pressed by Celia, he reveals that his visit is concerned with his dark distrust of the situation with the Doctor who tends to Celia.
