OVERVIEW

Why is this work relevant for Film Craft?

The sound was crafted in a way to reflect the weight of the storymatter and the sound was especially used to create a feeling of fear and anxiety.

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.

Please provide any cultural context that would help the Jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work.

There are no cultural references.

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

Children can’t protect themselves from the dark side of the internet.

Child sexual abuse is a problem that reaches into our homes through our tablets, phones, and laptops. It is a global issue, but hardly anywhere in the world has introduced laws to stop it.

In the coming months, the EU has an opportunity to change that.

A new EU proposal would make it compulsory for tech platforms to design safe services for our children; detect, report, and remove child sexual abuse material from their platforms and protect our children from online predators.

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.

Tell the jury about the sound design.

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.
