Sound - Starter task

Starter task

Why is sound important for creating meaning for the audience?

Sound can be used to control/ influence tha audience's emotions in order for them to relate and understand the scene more. For example, sad, slow music at a funeral scene connotes to the audience that something sad is happening, making them understand the scene more without direct explanation. As a result, it is also used to explain situations to the audience without immersion-breaking explanation.

Sound can also be used to make an action more or less impactful by accompanying an act with a loud or non-matching sound to show the effect of an action on the film.
