anticipating the anticipators anticipation

Now that shooting is a wrap, Free Wall moves into post-production. For several of us working on the audio and video editing process, this means habitual sleepless nights and increased caffeine intake. But, with post-production comes anticipation, anticipation that 8 a.m. crew calls, overnight stays in Indianapolis and scorching outdoor temperatures will all mean something. Post-production will bring all of the dailies and give them life, a life that each and every crew member has helped build.

As Sound Designer, my anticipation has kicked in, as my position on the crew will begin very shortly. That said, I have started to read the book Sound Design: The Expressive Power of Music, Voice and Sound Effects in Cinema by David Sonnenschein to help me understand not only the effect sound can have on the viewer, but more specifically the emotion that helps create each sound. Is it the image that helps portray the sound, or the sound that helps portray the image? This question will be the driving force behind Foley and ADR work.
