The aesthetics of sound

The FilmTV 1 reading was about Sound Design and as I have begun to understand and be fascinated by the significance of sound in media, I really enjoyed it.

Two major points that excite and inspire me are:

Narrative sound: the ways that sound can aid the plot and particularly the way that commentative sound uses sound to tell the viewer something about the plot that they can’t see.

Sound design itself: This idea that sound is constructed the same way that the visual scenes are constructed. That we can manipulate everything about it and use it to our advantage and to progress the plot.
