T13 - Why is sound so important in a film?

Sound is important in a film because it helps to identify the genre to the audience. As well as this, sound establishes a tone and atmosphere as well, which enhances the action that is already being visually shown in the film, which aids to maintain the attention of the audience.

Another reason why sound is important in a film is because it can help to reveal certain clues or plots within the storyline of the film to the audience, so that they have a better understanding of what to expect from the film.

In addition, sound gives a sense of reality to the audience, especially through the inclusion of 3D sounds, which are music, dialogue and sound effects.
