![]() ![]() Silence: one sound so easy to associate with death, as the next sounds come from the scene in which it’s revealed Oscar has passed away. While not only did that help sell the ground nature of their world, it also ties back into the themes of the film, and helps to characterize the area before we’ve even see outside of the room in the first scene.Īnother decision I liked involving the sound direction came during the end of the film: while Oscar’s family and friends are praying for his survival, the sound cuts out. These are from from an unusual occurrence in any city, yet when you sit back and think about it, you almost never hear them in media quite like this. But what caught my attention was a sound from outside: police sirens. During the second scene (right after the real footage from the titular station), we see Oscar and Sophina talking on the bed about 24 hours before the foreshadowed incident. Right out the gate I noticed a decision I quite liked. While I personally didn’t find it flawless, Fruitvale Station was still an enjoyable, well put together film.
