Research: Why is sound important in a film?

Though we might think of film as an essentially visual experience, we really cannot afford to underestimate the importance of film sound. A meaningful sound track is often as complicated as the  

 image on the screen. The entire sound track is comprised of three essential ingredients:

  

 • the human voice

• sound effects

• music

These three tracks must be mixed and balanced so as to produce the necessary emphases which in turn create desired effects. Topics which essentially refer to the three previously mentioned tracks are discussed below. They include dialogue, synchronous and asynchronous sound, and music.  

Soundscape - Combination of sounds 

Sound Design - Collage of sound

'Suspending disbelief' - putting reality out of your mind to enjoy the film

From the research I have conducted on sound I can conclude that sound is very essential when making a movie, not only does sound make up 50% of a movie but it can transform a basic movie into an amazing one due to all large variety of sound available.
