OVERVIEW

Background

Every second, at least 2 images or videos of child sexual abuse are shared online.

Child victims of online sexual abuse and exploitation report similar levels of trauma symptoms to victims of offline sexual offences. As well as support to cope with the abuse, victims require this material to be removed from the Internet first and foremost. The continuous circulation of images and videos means that children endure never-ending trauma and report living in fear of being recognised from photos and videos on the internet.

Execution

The sound was crafted in a way to reflect the weight of the serious subject matter and the sound was especially used to create a feeling of anxiety & tension.

Sampled whispers were layered to give a human element to the spot while manipulated tech and digital sounds were used to achieve the sense of being overwhelmed by the day side of the internet. All the while being interwoven to help with the story telling also.
