Another important film technique is the use of sound. Sound is related to editing in that sound provides continuity across different shots. A filmmaker may use the same music across different shots to imply that these shots are connected. Sound effects can also be used to create continuity as with the repetition of an actor's cough in the background to signal his presence. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The musical score for a film is used to add additional meanings. To add to a fast-paced chase scene, a filmmaker may employ a fast-paced score. To add to a slow, romantic scene, a filmmaker may employ romantic violin music. To introduce certain ideas into the film, a filmmaker may add familiar songs that serve as commentary on the events in the film. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
