 SOUND HEADING

Favorite Sound Designer

    When it comes sound designers Ben Burtt is one of my favorites. He has worked on several films, these films include "WALL-E", "Star Wars" and many more. Burtt is my favorite because he has worked on many movies that I have grown up with, like Star Wars. The iconic sound that is used in dozens of movies is the Wilhelm scream. The wilgelm scream is a scream that is used when someone dies and is used sometimes as a joke. The scream was created by Burtt and is famously used in "Star Wars Episode IV -A New Hope" Burtt has accomplished so much in the film industry and has expired the next generation of film artists, including me.

Sound Impacts Theme

 When it comes to sound in a scene it must go with the theme. Sound is crucial to the understanding theme, depending on the movie you're going to use sounds that match your theme. For example, if you're filming a horror movie you want to have scary or creepy ambient sound. If you had cheerful ambient music in a horror movie it's going to make it less scary for the viewers. Incidental music is another example of why sound is important to the theme of a scene. If you have icidental music being played as someone walks their dog on a calm day but the icidental music is for an action scene then it won't match the theme.
