BLOG QUESTION: THE ART OF SOUND DESIGN

After watching this video, what do you notice about the importance of sound design in film? Why is it so essential?

Pairing videos with sfx and music can amplify the experience by making the visuals feel more dramatic and immersive. You can add sound effects on beat with the music if you want to amplify the pace of a video. You can find sound effects on youtube, epidemic sound, and other online resources. It takes a lot of experimenting to perfect sound design. You can begin by adding atmospheric sound (ambient noises such as nature, traffic noise, etc). Then, you find sounds associated with what the subjects are doing. After that, pay attention to details of the scene such as animals in the background, objects moving, etc. It can be easy to overdo or underdo sound design, so a good starting point is 3 sounds per scene. Base your sound design around your subject.
