Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Oskar Schell is an inventive eleven year old who discovers a key in his fathers belonging who died in the world trade centre on 9/11, he sets up an urgent search for the lock that it opens.

Due to the film being based around the 9/11 attacks the editing team faced the question of what the audience should and shouldn't see.  

In an interview with associate editor David A. Smith he explains more about the challenge “The main character is a kid who loses his father on 9/11, and a lot of the film is about what’s going on inside his head,” he says. “There’s some graphic stuff, and they had to make sure they were very sensitive about the material.” 

I think that the background noise from the phone calls recreated the panic and impact that 9/11 had. The audience are able to relate with Tom Hank's character in a time of distress, they can hear the people crying and panic erupting the in background yet he stays calm for his family. 

I liked how the things that were significant to the story developing were emphasised a good example of this is the blue vase that falls to the floor this particular part of the scene is slowed down and the sound is the most dramatic part as the audience are able to hear every crash and smash.
