BP 15 - Sound Importance in Film

What is sound?

-  Something that is produced by continuous and regular vibrations

What is a soundscape?


- A combination of sounds

What is sound design?


- Specifying, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio elements

What is 'suspending disbelief'?


- Putting reality aside, making something more engaging


Title Sequence with and without Sound - 

Screening 1; without sound                                         

- Confusing                                                           - Overwhelmed at the silence
- Rushed
- Failure to interpret 
- Too long
- No dialogue

Screening 2; with sound                                             

- Idents                                                                 
- Sets mysterious atmosphere                                                                                    - Attentive
- Satisfied
- Entertained

To Conclude

Sound can be the deciding factor on whether or not you enjoy a film. There should be a 50/50 divide to prove that the importance of sound is essentially as important as the visuals. Sound defines a film and without it we run the risk of misinterpretation. Entailing disregard for the film, meaning we will not like what we see if there is no sound to follow along with it
