Internet Convenient Store

         
         
        The internet is a convenience store that sells much of its goods for free. It is an absolutely fascinating reflection of those things that never occur in the everyday mind. I did not know that it was possible to record the sound of Dial-up because I didn't think anyone would ever want to remember it, and I didn't know there was such technology that kept it preserved. Freesound proved me wrong with its file Dial-up, courtesy of Jlew.
              The trailer revolves around a world in which people's lives are their computers, and the computers are the world. Although I didn't truly appreciate the internet until I was seven, and my family stopped using Dial-up when I was eight, all memories I have with it are painful. It would be fitting if we used Dialup.mp3 for our trailer in order to invoke cringing memories and thus a dire mindset within our viewers. The essence of the trailer will thus be as dark and drastic as the world in which it is set.
              When shopping through the Freesound isle of the Internet Convenience Store, I found A computer's first dream.wav, a soundscaping file in which technological waves pass through a listener's ear. It reminds me of the end of Julian Casblancas' Old Hollywood, a distant song in which he almost rides over the track. It would be nice to be able to use tracks by popular artists, because this way our trailer would be more appealing to the viewer.
                  A computer's first dream.wav provides the dissonance from the world in which we live from that of the trailer. It also provides for the technological premise of the film. The idea of a first dream contributes to the lie of the world in the trailer, which will better explain the importance of the film.
              I'll keep searching for quiet sounds. Almost like white noise. White noise is important to any distopian film, because there is more of a paranoid sense for the alternate universe that's exposed. Dial-up accomplishes this, along with the computer's first dream, because there's a bit of uncertainty in them.
