Query: asynchronous sound and burnouts--multiple responses

From: Jackson, Tony <[email protected]>


not sure what you mean by recent, but you might consider the ends of
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, and of black swan for fade to white,
and traffic for asynchronous sound.

Hi Rebecca,

If you have a moment, you might look at Jonathan Demme's Something Wild
(1986). After the musical medley at the start of the film, the camera tilts
down the N.Y. skyscape to follow a young man with a boom box in Manhattan.
It is unclear whether the music we now hear is from his boom box (thus
diegetic) or from the soundtrack. This initial aural pun if you will alerts
us to Demme;s multiple uses of music throughout the film. And a few times
in the film, one notably at the end when Charlie Driggs, is in his office
looking out the window and contemplating his future, Demme uses a burn out.

Good luck,

Jeff Evans

Rebecca, if memory serves me correctly, there is a burnout to white in the
pier scene of Neil Jordan's *Breakfast on Pluto* when Kitten gets a
disarming proposal of marriage from his current magician-employer.
