Why is sound so important?
Sound is very important in films because it can be described as somewhat the core of a film - as that a film without any type of sound, music or sound effects will have pretty much no purpose to set the genre and tone of the film. Sound is used in films to sensationalise specific scenes in films. For example, in the case of a scene whose purpose is to create tension and suspense this will be portrayed through sound.
In this short clip from the movie 'The Shining' we can witness that the sound is primarily the most major thing that creates the suspense and makes you feel on edge in this scene. From the start of the clip there is an eerie and disturbing sound in the background which we can already start to feel like something is about to happen and as that the boy is the only one in camera - we can only assume something might happen to him, before watching the rest.

A soundscape is everything you hear
- What is sound design?
Sound design is the preparation of sound for a particular effect - it is deliberate
- What is "suspending disbelief"?
"Suspending disbelief" is something where you know it is not real but you want to believe it is.
