Introduction
Sound design is an integral part of filmmaking as it contributes a psychological layer to the phenomenal and objective world. It is not with respect to just what you observe on the monitor, it also relates from what audio comes out of your headset. Sound design is responsible for all of the sounds in a movie, including dialogue, foley (sound effects), and ambient noise. It adds levels to a scene that can be clever, emotional or otherwise plunging the audience further into the story. If you are an aspirant of cinema or just a cliched cinephile in general, learning sound design is like walking into another world with storytelling.
