Why is Audio important?
Usually, when the sound quality is good it goes unnoticed because it matches what we expect to hear
When the sound quality is bad, it is obvious, as it may be distracting and it cheapens the quality of the video even if the visual could have been perfect and amazing.
Having voice-overs or any kind of dialogue is the easiest way to show the message as they tell the story using words. It can help develop the scenes and actors emotions.
The sound also helps you get the message across.
Eg.
When you're watching a video without audio
- You aren't as captured in the video
- It's easy to turn away
- It's easy to lose focus
Having sound effects/ audio makes the environment realistic and you feel more involved. It adds depth to the visual video, and it can make the audience to feel a certain way towards a certain character during a specific moment in the film. Sometimes it may build a connection between the audience and the character. Simple audio like people walking (footsteps) can add realism to the visual. Adding audio can also change the mood or the way you interoperate the video.
Eg.
Imagine without audio a guy standing in the forest alone looking around, now by imagining or adding a audio in the background for example like footsteps and the sound of the breeze blowing through, it can add tension, suspense and a dark scary mood to the whole scene.
Heres another one, imagine a guy or girl sitting in the train staring through the window, watching the view. If you add a light sad music in the background it conveys the girl/guy may be sad or going through a rough time so they look out the window, wanting to be alone.
If you add scary suspense music it changes the mood of the scene completely, because now it shows that something bad is going to happen or scary.
Finally, if you add happy music to the scene, it may just look like the girl/guy is just admiring the view and is happy.
