No Country For Old Men was released in 2007 to critical acclaim taking a new approach to the wild western thriller genre, both in storyline and production. Written and directed by the Coen brothers (Ethan and Joel) who's previous titles include Fargo, O' Brother Where Art Thou?, and True Grit; the film makes full use of the sound effects and foley elements to create the mood of tension and unease throughout, rather than relying on a score composition.
For my project I have chosen to redo and redesign the sound for selected scenes from No Country For Old Men both taking into account the visuals shown in the film and the direction in which sound would best add to the film as a spectacle, rather than necessarily being true to what is shown on screen, to create and build a feeling which can keep the audience in moments of suspense. The scene which I am going to recreate the sound for is the 'hotel scene', or more specifically from 54:33 - 59:36. I chose this scene because it has a range of techniques used in the actual sound for the film which builds suspense for the audience through sound alone, as well as it also having a small action sequence.
