S.O.S: Tunnel Vision


Piece: Tunnel Vision
By: Pejk Malinovski
Year: 2001
Length: 5 Minutes

When we watched this film in class, it was so strange and different to the others. It seemed to be about different men talking about girls and sex on a tube journey. Saying how many they slept with, or how many they loved. The tube is referred to as the 'Tunnel'.

You know the space of the sound when you hear train/tube sounds, such as when the tube screeches to a halt at the end. 

Most of all I found this really funny. I like the accents added to the personality and creates a character in the audience's mind - also throughout you hear mistakes, coughs, 'urms' - which are usually cut out of films - however it works well in this because it shows the embarrassment the man is feeling about what he is talking about - makes the character more realistic and allows the audience to familiarise themselves much easier. 

Background sound is mainly a beat rather than tube ambience. Which suggests it's quiet maybe, but also that they are underground.

I liked this piece mainly because it was funny. The story distracted me from the sounds, however the sounds juxtaposed with the story to make it whole - and therefore allows the audience to understand.
