Richard- Sound/Director

I am Richard, and for this film project I will be taking the role of sound and director.
The films that have influenced me in my job as sound/director are...




The sound is this opening for Pineapple Express is interesting. In the car it is diegetic sound, however when he leaves the car to give someone a subpoena the music previously on the car radio switches to non-diegetic sound and is played even when Dale is not in the car.

Also the choice of song is very good for this opening in the film. The songs lyrics are very fitting for this film as it says "take it higher" as the film partially focuses on smoking marijuana. Also as it is a song of few lyrics, the lyrics do not overshadow the dialogue, this is very effective as in addition to, I feel the sound editor has got the sound balance right. Unlike some films where sometimes the soundtrack is too loud and drowns out the dialogue or evenly worse the soundtrack may be too low to hear and appreciate.
