COLLABORATION AND INTEGRATION:
A Method of Advancing Film Sound
Based on The Coen Brothers' Use of Sound
and Their Mode of Production
For the majority of cinema history, the film industry has treated sound as a
less integral ingredient in the filmmaking process. This has translated into
working practices that have marginalised sound's contribution and have
divided personnel. Joel and Ethan Coen's mode of production stands in
contrast to a majority of those currently working in the film industry. They
foreground sound's contribution by priming their scripts for sound, involving
their sound personnel sooner and by encouraging close collaboration between
those responsible for the soundtrack. The Coens' model serves as a way of
highlighting sound's importance and as way of generating more integrated
soundtracks. As such, filmmakers should build upon their mode of
production; a notion supported by other professionals and educational
institutions. By advocating this alternative way of working, future filmmakers
can be encouraged to reassess sound's role in film construction.
