I worked closely with the director Clare Louise English, and the post sound team, to ensure the score worked dramatically for as much of our deaf audience as possible. To quote Clare from an interview with DirectorsUK:
'It can be easy to think that sound design and score are less important when you are making work predominately aimed at a deaf audience, but there are two things crucial to remember here. The first is that deaf people want entertainment that they can enjoy with their families in a shared experience and the second is that within the deaf community not everyone is profoundly deaf, there is a vast spectrum of deafness. Myself and the composer, Matt Loveridge, had a lot of conversations about this, we wanted to make sure there were some powerful, low, base notes that deaf people would feel and some would be able to access and equally some really high notes that others, myself included, are more able to access. Then Matt and the sound designer, Colin Chipchase AMPS, worked really collaboratively together to build a ‘panic attack tool kit’. I think this really worked especially when I saw the film in the cinema you could really feel the vibrations through the seats in those panic moments. Matt also introduced me to the Shepard Tone!'
