Somewhere is another film by Sophia Coppola, like Lost in Translation and is incredibly similar in her style although Lost in Translation was filmed first it that it is incredibly minimalistic and poignant with long takes that almost make you believe that you aren't watching a film, you are watching a man in real life.
The sound design in the film is again, minimalistic apart from a soundtrack from the band Phoenix at moments, there is hardly any soundtrack, just relying on foley that emphasises sounds that are not usually heard on film, but are in this mix such as a scene where the sound of the cigarette burning as it is being inhaled which I thought was such a great technique to use, to put sounds that aren't usually heard like breathing or the touch of hand, really high in the mix so that that an audience can connect even more deeply with the character.
I want to use this technique in my scene from Lost in Translation as the scene is quite minimalistic too and I want to emphasise these normally forgotten sounds in the mix.
