Proposal revised

The concept that we want to explore with this project is how sound can affect a person's perception and/or mood while watching a film.  We want to explore how sound can lead a person to feel a certain way about an image they are seeing. 
In essence, what we want to do is an audio kuleshov experiment.  Where Kuleshov worked with visuals, we will work with audio. In multiple segments, we want to show a variety of images and/or little scenes and then replay them with changes in the sound design and drastic changes in the score.  We will show these segments in a way that mimics changing channels on a television.  We'll show a segment and then "change the channel" and then eventually come back to that segment, but now with a new sound design and score behind it, changing the mood from what was on screen before. For instance, we could see an adult playing with a child and hear an upbeat soundtrack, but once we return to this segment, the score is now dark. The performance does not differ, but the mood of the audience changes because of the score.
The structure of the film being like a t.v. changing channels will add a layer exploring our society's increasingly limited attention span that comes from watching too much t.v.  Near the end of the film, the channel changing will become sporadic and sounds from one program will carry over to other channels. 
 Regarding what will be playing on the other channels we will play with just the sound design, having sound design that totally doesn't fit the image on screen.  This will allow us to explore how having expectations broken through the sound design can illicit responses that are in turn unexpected (such as laughter), which is an idea that fits inside how sound can alter the viewer's mood.  


-Rough plan for the next couple weeks-

We show our first dailies in three weeks.  By then we should have a final script written, equipment checked out, locations scouted, and the first of our segments shot.
