The Rubber Tire


My film idea about the smartphone was inspired by the movie "Rubber," directed by Quentin Dupieux. The film follows a serial killer tire, named Robert, and a group of police officers attempting to kill it.


Just by watching the trailer, it is apparent that Dupieux relied heavily on sound whenever the tire is onscreen by itself (the bird, the sand falling off tire, the tire's tantrum, etc.). Sound is so important in this film because it's just a tire, you have to rely on other elements to keep the audience engaged. So, since my film is focused on a smartphone, I need to focus on sound elements, such as the alarm clock going off, the sound of typing, the phone being picked up or being put down, and the voices of teen girls occasionally since we're following the owner of the smartphone's life.
