Importance of sound . . . . . . . .

“Sound effects play an important role in conveying action. Music helps express emotion.” Michael Geisler

This statement is true to me, i believe that music and certain sounds have a huge impact on a persons emotion. Particular genres of music can either make a person feel happy or sad, it can change moods for the better or for the worse. I find that listening to a particular singer or band will make me feel happy when i'm down or make me feel more excited. When a film or short animation has certain music or sounds it sets the tone and tells you what it is going to be like, e.g: if the intro is up beat or slow. Also, when a particular song is put in an animation or film it can make you think of different memories that you associate with it or from a time in your life. )
