RESEARCH: TASK 16 - Why is sound important?

 Sound is so important in film because:

• it establishes tone and atmosphere
• without sound, the image is flat, boring and confusing
• it creates realism
• it helps to synchronise image and sound
• it is engaging and draws the audience in
• it gives clues about the plot and characters
• it allows you to identify the genre
• without sound the audience will not understand what is happening in the film
