Sound is a crucial element to a film. It can be used in a variety of ways. It is an informational tool, adds important sensory experience to the film, and contributes to the overall emotional feel of a film. Sound can be an omniscient presence in the form of narration, it can serve as one's internal monologue providing insight into character, and it can serve to set the mood.
There are 3 basic types of sound:
1. Sound Effects
2. Music
3. Human Voice
The ways that sound interacts with the visuals can be synchronous or asynchronous.
Being able to hear action is just as important as not hearing anything. When sound is doing its job, it should not be noticed. Rather, it is like an additional character that supports the overall meaning of the film. When sound is not doing its job, it is noticed. If the subjects in the film are not heard, the audience will notice and will most likely be turned off by the film. It is easier to mask a poorly shot film than a film with poor sound.
