The propellers will have been recorded through the use of a directional and ambient microphones the children would have been recorded in a isolated place to give it more echo on their voices. Narrative From the beginning the viewer can hear a person speaking sounding like they are in a trance, but the protagonist starts to talk about his dream he is having about himself in a garden I believe that this was created in a sound proof room where no background noise can be picked up.
