Ever wondered how movies like Inception, The Lord of The
Rings or Nolan’s Dark Knight managed to ring in our minds even after we were
out of the movies?
The answer is efficient Sound Editing and Mixing; while
watching a movie or once you’re out, something that gives us the chills of ‘awesomeness’
most of the time is the sound effects and the background score used in the
movie.
So it is of utmost
importance that the music and sound effects used for a movie is optimal, else
how much ever appealing the acting is or visual effects are, the movie will
simply lack the ‘wow’ factor.
Often perfect sound mixing is ignored even by the biggest
film-makers, and most of the time, how much ever good their movie is, we simply
don’t remember it once the silver screen goes off.
A typical example for importance of sound mixing is portrayed
by the movie Book of Eli, even though the effects, direction and acting in the
movie are good, it is the music by Atticus Ross that actually gave life to the
movie. Another movie where good use of Music was made was none other than Nolan’s
Masterpiece, Inception, where Hans Zimmer had done an epic work with the
background scores.
So for all you amateur movie makers out there, even if the
actors in your movies disappoint you, try to make sure that their inefficiency
is easily masked with excellent music.
