Although I originally had the idea to make a sound piece based on a kind of Zombie Apocalypse due to the people in the photograph looking similar to zombies, during the editing process, I suddenly had an idea about how the fire portrayed in the photograph could have been started.
The storyline I developed in my head before the actual editing process was about a character breaking into the house in the photograph through a window they broke. They would then begin to sneak around the house apparently looking for something before being attacked by a guard-dog. The person sneaking around the house would fire a shot at the dog, wounding it before pouring petrol around the house and starting a fire with a match.
The storyline I chose was something which I could include a massive amount of different sound effects with, from both living and non-living things. I made sure I would be able to use a wide variety of sounds, from many different sources, including dog barks, weapon shots, footsteps on various different materials and also ambient sound effects such as birds, wind and other sounds of nature.
All in all, I think the plot I developed was something that can be easily understood purely through the sound alone. What I am excited about however, is combining the sequence I have created with the photograph, and zooming in on certain areas of the photograph as the events happen. I think the combination of my sequence and Gregory Crewdson's photograph will be fantastic.
