Introduction
Sound in film is when the sound engineer adds in and manipulates the noise in that respective film. Also, it can enhance the film as well, it can add context, detail, and meaning into a certain scene. Some examples of sound you will hear in film are sound effects, dialogue, and the music. It also supports the genre, setting, and characters and with each it helps create both theming and atmosphere. It supports the atmosphere by interacting with the surrounding environment/setting. With that of sound in film audience engagement is created and bring all the other aspects together.

Reflection
What I learned from this exercise was how and why sound works in film. Each team member had an responsibility which are Cole A (me) working on dialogue, Eric E worked on sound effects, and Antonio M worked on the music. The main way we worked on this is through team for example suggestions and examples from different sources. I would say that we did a pretty good job on this assignment.
