Q
What are some sound ideas for episode 1 ?
A
- diegetic noise from machines in a pattern like a heartbeat: fast and it see however this is distrusted by the young woman
- clock ticking
- motifs of sound of a non diegetic pre recorded sound of Helen’s breathing combined with buzzing played at a quite volume underscoring the scene
- lack of connection to other characters- diegetic sound of pre recorded lines with robotic sound effect, alienated and isolated and spot cue of Jones’ hand on shoulders stops all sound

Q
What are lighting ideas for episode 1 ?
A
- opening: Ice blue fresnels x3 in a wash over the whole stage at 50% intensity- immersing audience
- when YM enters fresnels diffuse and become dim to 10% intensity. White profile creating harsh spotlight on YM with a semi wide iris isolates her
- office workers sitting neatly under circular soft blue profile lights showing unity
- when Mr J enters increase intensity to 70% mirroring the increase in work
- red profiled light up Mr J and disjointed angles emphasising chiaroscuro (shadow)
- spot cue of monologue profiles snap off and floodlight red assaulting the senses
- end state of fade to blackout
