A World Through Headphones:
- Diegetic Music: The creative concept involved presenting the music as if it were emanating from the protagonist's headphones, existing diegetically within the animated world itself. This approach enhances the audience's sense of observation and connection to the protagonist's journey.
- A Bold Choice: While the music might lose some of its fidelity due to the "tinny" quality associated with hearing headphones from a distance, this deliberate choice ultimately adds a layer of realism and intimacy to the overall soundscape.
