Planning: Why is sound so important

Importance of sound

What is Sound: Sound is anything we hear in relation to a film.
What is Soundscape: This is the overall sound environment.
What is Sound design: This is the process of creating, recording and mixing all the sounds.
What is 'Suspending Belief': Forgetting that you are watching a film, feeling like you are there.

The two types of sound:

Diegetic Sound - Sound which the audience can hear but the characters in the film cannot hear.
Non Diegetic Sound - Sound which the characters in the film can hear, for example, an explosion.

Screening without sound made the title sequences seem boring and less interesting, one example was the 'The Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3', the scene seemed plain and not enough engagement with he audience making everything confusing
Afterwards, we screened with sound which made a total difference as it built up tension making you want to watch it more this proves that the importance of sound is a lot in a film as it can make it more entertaining.
