Importance of sound in films

Sound is very important in film to create the sense of direction to where the story will be heading next or currently is, it also sets the scene for the movie. For example if the story was a horror genre the movie would be grimy or sinister to scare the viewers and allow tension to be created with the high notes and low notes. Scratchy strung instruments are usually used to create this as they are not usually used in other film genres and are mainly only used when a scary moment will happen. Feelings and emotions can be generated when sound is coupled with scenes that the audience can either relate to or understand.
