Sound is an integral part of any feature film. It can set the mood, inform the story and ignite emotions. Imagine looking at a close up of a character’s face without any sound. You may think that nothing interesting is going on. Now add some background sound such as fast-moving traffic, car horns, a distant police siren and a few shout outs. The story suddenly takes shape and you can’t help but wonder: Why is she standing so close to a highway? Is she lost? What if she gets hit by a car?
​
​When executed skillfully, sound transforms the audience’s experience while remaining a seamless part of the film.
