Having recently watched Stranger Things, I found the concept of ‘The Up Side Down’ really fascinating. With the work I’m developing, delving into how your mind functions between consciousness, Stranger Things shows similarities to how the real world and the up side down counteract.
In the sound I’m creating I want to portray the moment between consciousness, when you’re awake but not quite with it. I describe it as the lights are on but nobodies home. You’re conscious but with no sight or movement yet.
Stranger Things has a way of grasping this concept by the audio used, some reminds me of music that can related to death, the idea of seeing a white light and drifting towards it. It’s all really subtle hints that reflect a subconscious reality in a state of consciousness.
This trailer showcases the themes I’m describing through visuals and audio.
