- The conversation is about a husband and wife arguing over a broken jar, and there consequent moods. The piece is strange in that for the most part, we don't hear any dialogue, the voices are jazz instruments, which are manipulated to give expression. For example when the wife initially queries the husband on the broken jar, the jazz is high and quick. The husbands voice is low and symphonic.
- As mentioned above, sound is the most notable thing about this film. As the piece develops, we realize that the sound is actually quite a complex tool. As the director has chosen to take out the words, for the piece to make any sense, the jazz must act like dialogue. In this sense it is is very original.
- Although the conversation is a drama, it could almost be a comedy, as the jazz noises can be humorous when coupled with the facial expressions and body language of the actors. There is no non-diegetic music because the addition of this would ruin the whole originality and flair of the film.
- In many ways, this film is inspiring. It is very original, and the use of sound is first rate. Although we will not use quite the same thing for our film, we can definitely aim for something stark and unusual, as this creates an interesting vibe to the piece. Rather than go for the bothced drug deal or chase through a forest, opting for a simpler idea, but one that is executed professionally, will create a much better film. Maybe taking more care making the sound a more accomplished feat, rather than concentrating solely on the necessity of good camera work, will make our film a more polished affair.
