Audio Research









Having looked and listened to much of Jim Morrisons poetry, I feel that it would create an atmosphere of suspense to just have a soft voice, like a vice over for the images that would follow. It would also act as a blank canvas for the beginning of the film to start in which ever way felt right.
However the light jazz tones of 'ghost song' coupled with the content of the first 45 seconds of spoken word also suit the feel of a documentary title sequence.
Using Jim's poetry instantly gives the viewer a sense of what he stood for and who he is. The content of the poems consists of mythical imagery and mystical metaphor, whilst at the same time having an emotionally charged revolutionary spirit.
The pace of 'Ghost song' would suggest that the camera and images should be slow moving, potentaially panning cameras.

His earlier work, whilst similar in content is over zealous for the sleazy, meandering, psychadellic feel i would like to capture. This is the reasoning behind why the focus has been on this final studio album by the doors.

The more i think about overall visual tone, i think Cepia filters over black and white images and content would work well, hopefully giving it a dated feel with lots of noise and grain.
