Why is Sound important in films
Sound is very important because it helps us to follow dialogue in a film and it also helps increase our understanding on what is actually happening in the scenes, therefore helping us to understand the plot of the movie.
Sound can also help to suspend disbelief. When we watch the example of a scene in class with no sound. i flet that the scene looked very flat and not believable at all, because i couldnt hear the rain or the persons foot steps. however even if the actual physical sound is there but there is no non diagetic music i felt it was a bit more believable however it did not drag me in and i did not feel a part of the experience.
Sound also helps set atmosphere and tone in the film. if there is happy music then the image on the screen will be happy, this also works the other way round. In a way it helps for us to feel what we see through the sound that is being produced.
I also noticed that in every example i was shown in class i could very easily establish the genre of the film even before i knew the genre. for example we were listening to a film with gunshots and galloping of horse feet, straight away i could tell that this was a western film.
Overall the sound in music helps us to engage more into the film and gives a more realistic feel all together.
