BLOG QUESTION: WHY IS SOUND IMPORTANT?

In your own words, write an in-depth reflection on three ways that sound is important in television and film?

Sound is important in television and film because it adds emotional depth, it can further the plot/narrative, and it can enhance the action shown on screen by making it more immersive. Things like sound effects can make the film more realistic, immersing the audience into the story. Music/scores for a film can add emotions, set the pacing, and create the tone and atmosphere.
