The Ellington Kid by Dan Sully is a 5 minute short film about the current issue of knife crime in London.

In this little snippet there is a mixture of lots of different sounds that are clearly all coming from the same room. This creates a busy atmosphere, highlighting how the operators are under a constant sate of busyness. The voice of the actor in the forefront of this shot is heightened to match her distance to the camera and...
