Task 16 - Why is sound important in film?

Why is sound important in film?


Sound is important in film because the dialog helps us to follow the story and increase understanding. Sound helps to set atmosphere and tone to aid in what we as the audience see as well as establish genre. This makes a more realistic visual experience and suspend disbelief.
Sound gives the audience clues about the plot, characters involvement in the film and to identify the genre.
The star wars director George Lukas has argued that 'sound is 50%' meaning that sound is what makes up half of the completed film.



After watching this video I find that his theory proves to be correct, based on how I felt when they showed us the same clips with different types o sound show. Only at the end where all the type of sounds were merged together is when I felt fully emerged into the clip and what was going on.
