Why supervising sound editor Alan Robert Murray wanted realistic sounds in Joker instead of the typical tones expected in a comic book-inspired film
When supervising sound editor Alan Robert Murray sat down to talk with director Todd Phillips about their sonic approach to Warner Bros.', the filmmaker said he wanted realistic sounds instead of the typical tones expected in a comic book-inspired film.
For a sequence in which Arthur Fleck is beaten up by three Wall Street suits on a subway car, Murray explains that the sound gets more sinister as the scene progresses. "It was building the scene, starting at a normal atmosphere and then amping it up as the torment increased on Arthur," he says, adding that this included sounds such as the screech of the subway car. "On top of that, the trains going by in opposite directions took on a sinister sound.
Murray adds that to make the audience "feel that they're right there with Arthur," they recorded sounds with an ambisonic mic, "which helped in the Atmos mix."
