click to play: "op de brug" ('On the bridge')	'18' is a film by Jelle van Doornik about an adolescent (Koen) who grows to maturity. Because the dialogues and acting are rather over the top we chose a caricatural style. The sound creates a cartoon-like atmosphere, the music adds some extra drama, or on the contrary makes it very light.
Ther are, broadly speaking 3 musicstyles recognizable in the film: 1. Open and airy, a bit trippy to support Colette's character 2. Quick and jazzy, for scenes that move fast 3. Dramatic, for the emotional blows later in the film With the sound, Bart made a humorous counterweight by supporting the camera movements with cartoon-like sounds and exaggerating the general sound.	click to play: 'in Norway'
