Halloween Haunts: Sound Design for the Glenrothes Trilogy
- Creative Freedom: The sound design approach for all three Halloween-themed films was open-ended, allowing for maximum creativity.
- A Dark Symphony: Dark and brooding music and sound design set the mood, perfectly complementing the narrative of the real Halloween story.
- Guiding the Listener: The soundscape guides viewers through each film, providing emotional cues and building tension to match the haunting visuals.
- Space for Scares: While the soundscape supports the narrative, it also leaves room for the sound design to deliver unexpected shocks and scares.
- Building Tension: To maintain engagement during slower sections, the team implemented a subtle yet effective strategy. An increasing heartbeat-style thud builds tension, subtly pulsing in sync with appearances of the Glenrothes bottle.
- The Spirit of Glenrothes: The pulsing Glenrothes bottle sound itself is a unique creation. Crafted from a sonogram recording of a heartbeat, it subtly implies that owners of the bottle can embody the powerful spirit of the Glenrothes whisky.
- A Collaborative Effort: Working with a talented voice-over artist and a passionate team ensured the audio developed and evolved seamlessly throughout the film editing process.
