Did You Hear That?

Although many silent films were very good, there is no denying the hugely positive effect the addition of sound has had on cinema. In terms of cinema, I can talk about the visual and sound elements separately. But, when it comes down to the final product, audio and visual fuse to become "The Audio Visual Contract!” This relation between visual images and audio created a completely new realm of artistic and creative possibilities. I believe that sound completely changed film making. The addition of sound didn’t just change the way movies are made, it sparked a complete cinema evolution. The way we approach creating or even experiencing cinema is now totally different and I believe it is for the best.

Sound allows film creators to achieve all whole new level of realism and immersion in their works. Sound also completely changed the anatomy of the film "Frame". Sound adds another dimension by creating space and places off screen which are just as real to the viewer as those on screen. Sound doesn’t just add value to visual images; it also allows for much more effective use of visual images. For instance, sound can be used to connect or relate many different visual stimuli when used in a montage. A montage without sound would be confusing, disconnected, and scattered. The positive impacts of sound on cinema go on and on, unfortunately, I am much too sick to continue typing and going to go to bed. After playing a little spore o_O!
