As an added comment you might like to look at the notion of foley - the adding of sound effects to films in the studio in relation to the beginning section. The Wild Track is also of interest. I like this idea of cameras not rolling or extra takes in relation to the movement work. This might even influence your thinking about how and where to add the soundtrack material and the place the audio has in the piece.

PS This is taken from Wikipedia - there is something nice about the lo-fi (cheapie) state of the recording which ties in with the aesthetic:
Wild track, also known as wild sound and wild lines, is an audio recording intended to be synchronized with film or video but recorded separately. Generally, the term "wild track" refers to sound recorded on location, such as sound effects gathered when the cameras were not rolling or extra takes of lines performed for audio only.
Reasons to record wild track:
* When only the sound is needed, not the image; for example, recording a scream that will be heard off-camera.
* When it is impossible to get good sound and video in the same take; for example, when actors are in a situation (such as the middle of a field in wide shot) that makes boom recording impractical and no wireless mics are available.
* When a take was good visually but there was a sound disturbance, and repeating the entire take is impractical.
* To obtain room tone (the background noise of a location) which is necessary for post-production sound editing.
Note that the wild track is considered something of a "cheapie" solution to these problems, and a big-budget production is more likely to use studio-recorded sound in these situations, as its quality is more controllable and predictable than wild track.
