Slide 29 of 37
Notes:
Sound conveys meaning...it also stimulates visual imaging: it creates pictures in our minds
Radio, for example, is a “hot” medium--which is to say, the listener’s imagination and experience play a direct role in giving the story depth, substance and meaning.
What's important to understand is that we interpret sound with our emotions, not our intellect
It may well be the most powerful tool in the filmmakers' arsenal in terms of its ability to seduce, because, as sound director Alan Spelt says, it is a “heart thing.”
