Our film opening, won%, is all going to be diegetic sounds, or mostly diegetic, I'm not entirely sure if we should add music yet. I feel like adding music wouldn't fit the opening because it's about a lazy, lonely gambler who's in debt.
Instead of starting with music like most films, were starting with the sound of a sports game in the background (for most of the film, until they turn it off) and a microwave with popcorn popping in the back and this is during the credits, eyeline match and up until we hear the microwave beep (mid shot on the couch). Then we will hear shuffling off the couch, we probably will put footsteps but very low since they are probably going to be wearing socks or are barefoot.
Next, were going to hear the microwave open then it cuts to the tv with the sink, if we do a focus pull on the sink, we might also do a focus pull on the audio and make the droplet sound louder. Then we will hear her take a bowl from the sink, maybe wash it too. After that, we hear her put the popcorn into the bowl, open it (maybe add "ouch" because the bag is hot), and then close the microwave and walk away. The next major sound we will hear is the mail being all taken away together, so like the sound of thick paper shuffling.
When they get to the couch, we will hear her start eating the popcorn and ripping open the mail and then throwing it away, she will do this a few times before she finds the fancy red envelope ( blog post soon about making the prop). We still hear the TV at this point but we will focus and blur the audio of the game and focus on the sound of opening the envelope. Then we suddenly hear her phone ringing, and she picks it up. We hear the anonymous voice on the other line and the character responding, then hanging up. She looks around, TV still on, and she turns it off. It's silent for a bit, other than some sounds from neighbors outside (maybe), and she decides to call them back and we hear the ringing tone, and it ends there!!
Soundscape (not the official one just a test/idea one kind of for the blog post):
I was originally going to upload an audio or video file but it doesn't work so I just put a link hopefully it works
