The Shape of Sound

Sound can shape the way film is viewed. films with no sound will force the viewer to concentrate more on the image being projected on-screen. When sound is added the effect is varied; it could increase the emotional intesity of the film, represent certain ideals, or it could distract from the piece. Experimental and innovative sound is something that could be used on a wider basis in filmmaking. When an unknown image is presented with a familiar sound the mystery and feeling of something new is lost, but when a radical sound track is presented with the film it can alter your perception greatly. Not only that but, if for nothing else, it is a different form of entertainment.
