In week 3 lectorial, we have explored upon the relationship between sound and image. When we discuss about a film or a drama, we may say how amazing the setting is or how natural did the actor play. Although sound plays a critical part in a film, most of us would still notice the distinct part of the films not sound. We say we watched a film instead of listen to a film, so the sounds in a film is like a dialogue between the characters which comes so naturally that we will not pick on it separately. Sounds are everywhere in films and it appears so naturals in each of the scenes which helps the filmmaker to reinforce the intentions. People never come out from a cinema and cheers about how brilliant is the sound fits to each scene so I wanted to describe sound as an engraver who works silently which people may never notice how amazing it is.

David Lynch has points out that a film is ‘at least 50% sound’, which emphasize the importance of sound in a film production, however, there are a massive percentage of sound being unheard in films/ dramas. During the lecture, a short activity that highlights the importance of ‘unheard’ sound was about looking at a picture and image how many sounds can happen in that moment. From this activity I have noticed that most of times, when we watched a film, we only noticed the most distinct sound such as a bomb exposed. Audience may notice the fire burning but not other sounds in the background such as: running steps; screaming; ambulance whistling; helicopter coming above etc. Every piece of sounds gathers so naturally which no one will notice and pick on it.
