Ex Machina scene - sound replacement.
original video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAtmopQxu0o&ab_channel=Movieclips
I don't own any rights to this video, it served purely for my personal educational purposes and as a practice of scoring to picture.
Context:
Contrary to the original scene, I imagined a scenario where the director wants Ava to appear slightly more hostile and unknown, therefore I went for more tense and eerier sound.
Methodology:
All the melody sounds are a processed electric guitar.
I also sampled the noise from the amp - it served as an "alarm" sound effect. (0:05-0:08)
When Ava turns her head around (0:13) I have sustained the 7th note of C sharp harmonic minor scale to emphasise this tense moment.
When she appears in the door, I resolved back to the 1st minor chord, followed-up with a borrowed minor chord only semitone above, leaving the viewer with a sense of ambiguity.
