Sound adds to the film plot, and helps you identify the genre. This helps people decide whether they will enjoy the film or not just by watching the opening. It allows you to have a visceral experience as the sound lets you enjoy the film to full effect.

Though we might think of film as an essentially visual experience, we really cannot afford to underestimate the importance of film sound. A meaningful sound track is often as complicated as the

image on the screen. The entire sound track is comprised of three essential ingredients:

the human voice

sound effects

music

These three tracks must be mixed and balanced so as to produce the necessary emphases which in turn create desired effects.
