Net of Lies (Borish: Þet net op lighen [θət ˈnɛt ɔp ˈliːɣən]) is a 2020 Borish crime drama. It was produced by Erick Wÿck, starring Yonas Newman, Yana Branten, Peter Muyeler and Anna-Beþ Ranawer in leading roles, and Tom Hëmecker, amongst others, in supporting roles.

Production

Filming

Net of Lies is set completely within Newstead city limits, where a majority of scenes have been filmed. Some scenes, however, have been filmed in Yuilegh instead. In particular, all scenes in abandoned warehouses were filmed in an industrial area in southern Yuilegh. Filming included the following locations: The scenes inside the family home and in the canalization were filmed at sets at Newstead Studios, while the scenes outside the house were filmed in several locations in the Yaarden neighbourhood in western Newstead. The secondary school that the children of the family and their friends visit is the Yohan-Stÿr-Skole in Sufferden.

Sound design

Although there are a few songs in Net of Lies, music is not used extensively to underline the tone of any given scene. In fact, the music used in the credits and during the party scenes appears in a direct contrast to the general tone of the film.
In the beginning, static noises can be heard to a black screen, before snippets of various songs of differing genres and decades can be heard, with a sound quality reminiscent of old radios or gramophones. During the roll credits, the first of the songs from the beginning is picked up again, but played from beginning to its end, after which, the remaining credits are not accompanied by music. The only scenes in which music is featured inbetween these two occasions are party scenes, where a variety of electro-pop songs are played.

Net of Lies makes extensive use of noises that are not, strictly speaking, musical in nature, as well as silence in order to convey emotions.
