Sound Guiding the Image

Working on the Animatic for Salome, I have tried to fill in holes by reading the script and by creating a shotlist, then storyboarding. However, in order to pick out the details of a scene, to set the tension, and to hit the key moments, I am using sound in the animatic to guide the visual structure of a given scene. As as I prepare the animatic for the faculty presentation, I will use library sounds to accentuate the voices and temporary score I received from Ludwig Goransson, the composer. As I move into real production, I will include time for real sound design, where I create my own sounds, specific to this film.
