MAKING THE SOUND OF A FICTION FILM IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Abstract

The film image is the fusion of some components (image, music, sound effects, dialogue) made through editing, a means of expression that transfigures reality into an audiovisual image. The creating director gives attention to the sound throughout the film, finds the best visual adaptation, a way to create the subjective image that would fuse much better with the sound, enhancing the artistic impression. In both editing and mixing, we must take into account that the image-sound relationship consists in the fact that the sound complements the images, and the images, in turn, complement the sound. Otherwise, it is not about art, it is about a silent film with added sound.
