The Importance Of Sound In Film

Sound is used in films to mirror the action and create suspending disbelief. The concept of forgetting that you are only watching something constructed and artificial creates a more engaging viewing and is key to setting the tone and atmosphere of the film. We watched a title sequence twice; once with sound and once without. This enabled us to understand the importance and relevance of sound in film. The screening without sound was disinteresting and boring however, with sound the viewing was more compelling and entertaining as a whole. This reasoning is where the idea that sound is (50%) half the product comes from and that without sound you only have a film that isn't as good as it could be.
