I directed 24`s pilot. I felt we should follow the characters around as if we were a documentary crew, using available light, hand-held cameras, split screens, sound that isn`t always what it should be, to suit the reality of the premise.
Each environment has its own signature. Sound tells a story: You make choices about what you`re hearing, where to look, how you want to feel about what`s going on.
Because of all the concurrent stories going in 24 and its fast pace, it can be complicated in terms of the story, so I thought sound could help with the storytelling.
