Stateman quotes Robert Bresson to break down where sound editors fit into the filmmaking process. “Bresson says, ‘a film is born three times. First, in the script.

When Cliff Booth arrives at the ranch, Tarantino knew it wasn’t a moment for a song to be playing. “You have this beautiful wide shot looking down the ranch, and this is where you’d normally have score or music,” says Stateman. “Quentin understood that there wasn’t a song that could speak to the evil of the place.”

Part of Tarantino’s storytelling abilities is being able to put the audience in the shoes of the characters. “It’s a hyper-reality use of sound as a storytelling tool,” Stateman explains.
