Sense of Space - The Bates Motel Editing

With the Bates Motel edited, it is very hard to show exactly how we have been creative with our piece. We didn't encounter any problems as such, only where a lack of recordings is concerned. We could have done with a few more recordings of breathing and the movement of clothes in order to give a detailed sense of a character within a place (i.e. Marion in the hotel room).
The greatest triumph I feel was the atmosphere underlying the whole piece, it gives a real sense of movement from the bedroom to the bathroom. I think our creative use of panning gives a sense of where everything is in the room, in particular, the bathroom and window in relation to the character at the desk in the bedroom.

Here is a visual example of our editing
Here you can see how panning and volume was used to give the impression of Marion leaving the bedroom and heading for the bathroom. We stay static in one place as she moves away and then reappear with her in the bathroom.
