RESEARCH- sound

Why is sound so important?

Manipulating Emotion and Mood

Sound techniques are often used to convey the mood of a scene and manipulate the audience's emotional reaction. This particularly true in thrillers and horror films, which seek to create a sense of fear. Scary movies, such as the recent film "Ouija," rely on the jump-scare technique to invoke that all-important, scream-worthy moment that makes a horror film a success. Jump-scares are often loud, jarring sounds, such as a door slamming, that are meant to catch the audience off guard and elicit a physical jerk or reflex.

Creating an atmosphere

George Lukas the director of star wars said filming is 50% 

sounding therefore without sounding the audience wouldn't be 

engaged with the film, leaving the movie to be boring and not as 

exciting it is with sound. sounding gives the genre away to 

the audience, making the audience understand without making 

it confusing.
