Task 16 - Why is sound so important in film?

Sound is 50%

Without sound the image on screen becomes confusing and disorientating as, although they are able to work out character roles and locations, the audience is unsure of how they should be feeling at any given point during the film. As soon as the audience has something to listen to along with the image, they are engaged. The action seems faster-paced and draws the audience in with specific details they otherwise might have missed.

Diegetic Sound
The diegetic sound used in film contributes to the realism of the action but somehow isolates the audience as, again, they are unsure of how to feel.

Non-Diegetic Sound
The non-diegetic sound used in film adds the dramatisation which is crucial for the creation of tension. This draws the audience in and makes them more aware of intended emotions.
