Sound is used to establish tone, atmosphere and to hint the audience about the plot, characters or identify the genre of the film. In addition, it is used to create realism for the viewer and heighten their experience of the film.
DEFINITIONS
Sound: The noises we hear
Soundscape: The range of different things we hear (e.g. background noise, trains etc.)
Sound Design: Deliberate planning of sound for effect
'Suspending Disbelief': The process of believing what you can see is real
It is argued that sound contributes to 50% of the film. In other words, without sound you only have half of the product or a film isn't as good. Sound and sound design has developed a lot over time and now have the technology to ensure that a film's sound is a visceral and 3 dimensional experience, making it more enjoyable for the audience to watch.
This title sequence doesn't have as much of an impact as it would have with sound. This reinforces the point that sound contributes to 50% of the film as it is evident that it sets the tone and immediately engages the audience.
