Produced during my MA, The Blacksmith gave me the freedom to experiment with sound design, composition and sonic storytelling. I was given the film without a soundtrack or defined narrative and asked to create the entire sonic world from scratch.

The resulting soundscape combined original music, Foley, sound effects and voice-over where appropriate. The aim was not simply to illustrate what was visible on screen, but to use sound to suggest atmosphere, character, tension and movement.

The project became an exploration of how sound can shape narrative, using changes in texture, space and dynamics to support the visual rhythm and build an immersive, emotionally coherent experience.
