During Week 10 we explored the notions of Cohesion in which would be utilised for our final Project Brief. The following chart showcases how elements of micro-cohesion generally adds to the overall picture of macro-cohesion. Explicit attention should be paid towards elements such as Individual techniques, cons and cues, thought and planning and the broad creative hand. Shortcomings in audio-visual material can often be recognised by poor adaptations of sound and the lack of Mood Boards, Story Boards and Sound Boards.

We viewed Beyond the Black Rainbow (2012) dir. Panos Cosmatos as a case study into the notion of cohesion within film. For a piece mostly devoid of a followable narrative, I found its strengths lie within the individual use of texture, architecture, framing, and most importantly the over indulgence of a droning neo dystopian 80’s-esk sound design. The Cohesion of all of these techniques, set within the genre of science fiction allowed for overall immersive experience.   ‘
