Sound creates the illusion

The video Listen made a point on the importance of sound. Sound creates the environment along with the visual. If the visual is of a wilderness and the sound doesn't match, the audience would be confused. The importance of sound in film is amazing. It creates a perspective like the audience is in the film. We can imagine that we are in the film world and with the story. Without sound, the film creates an awkward mind set and makes people feel uneasy. Sometimes it can work for horror films but generally you would want sound in film.

The Wonders of Synesthesia

While I was reading this, the first things that popped in my mind was superpowers and magic.
Chromesthesia is the when someone associates sound with color I thought that was one of the more interesting things about Synesthesia. I thought it was something only seen in film and couldn't actually be a real thing. Another form of Synesthesia I thought was fascinating was the 
Mirror-touch synesthesia. It reminded of the trick magicians do where they would touch doll and their subject say that they feel it. I learned form this page and enjoyed it a lot. 

Pleasing Visuals

Begone Dull Care
I cam into this class thinking we would be covering narrative films and Begone Dull Care turned out to be experimental. I like the score of the music and how it synced with the visuals. There were vibrant colors mixed with darker ones and that really caught my attention. Even though this is experimental, my favorite parts of the film was the sound of guitar strings being strum and the line that would shake to correspond with it. I also liked how the colors would transition to be a fast pace visual to a slow paced one when needed.
