The Pulled Over project was a college assignment that I carried out while doing my degree in audio production at SAE Institute in 2010.
I worked on the assignment as the project manager; an assignment that consisted in recreating the entire soundtrack of a film (sound design, dialogue and music).
Particularly interested in music supervision, I especially enjoyed the project while working with the composer of the soundtrack - the artist musician and music producer Marcel Saba.
We had to define the right musical approach to support and enrich the characters' emotions, the film's mood, and the actual narrative.
The idea was to develop a music soundtrack mainly based on music score and commercial music.
The score takes inspiration from the Contemporary Music movement of the early 20th century to set a tense and disturbing atmosphere all along the narrative. That music genre is known for creating those emotional effects and attention from the listeners.
The use of commercial music also enabled us to emphasise the current aspect of the actual story, the social conditions of the characters and their evolving moods that occur along the film's plot.
The fact that Marcel Saba had previously taken part in the production of this commercial music as a co-producer and/or performer made the clearing process easier to carry out.
