sound

In the diary of a call girl, the scene looked at was one of Belle (the call girl) and one of her customers (Blake) as they meet and greet. This isn’t just a normally customer as the scene shows the difficulties/challenges of Blake’s disabilities as he is wheelchair bound.
The first scene which starts in Belle’s apartment starts off with the meet and greet between the two as they encounter for the first time. This part of the scene there is no non- diegetic soundtrack throughout; only dialogue is used at this early stage. Smaller/quieter everyday sounds (ambient sound) within the clip are enhanced frequently, the first of which is the envelope being taken out of Blake’s bag. The rustles are heard quite loudly as to emphases the awkwardness of the event, plus remind us that this is a business proposition taking place.
The dialogue by all characters involved is normally very stuttered which develops the point that the scenario is of delicate matters and brings about awkward tension from all characters involved. When Belle goes to lock the door she hesitates and later decides not to lock it as she looks backs she sees the vulnerability of Blake, the reassurance that his father can come in at any time if needed appealing more to him than the thought of him not. Here again the sound of the door latch is escalated to emphases on the actions occurring. The scene is also punctuated with awkward silences. Throughout the scene the boys disability is constantly a factor of the episode, but this said it is has not been represented in a negative way, the character doesn’t ask for sympathy.
The soundtrack played from the radio is an upbeat classical tune, which is conflicting to the father’s mood as is shown by the fact he turns it off immediately. The father then fidgets whilst sitting in the car; small sound effects occur like the seat going back and the horn accidently being pressed shows the fathers anxiety.
Then the sound bridge brings back to the scene of Belle and Blake. The slow melodic music, opposite to the sensual music you would expect in the circumstance draws out all the excitement as you feel sorry for Blake.
