Chion’s term added value, explores the expressive and informative value that sound gives to the image, and how it can create the definite impression in the immediate or remembered experience an audience has of it. It is therefore essential to make our soundtrack sound as professional as possible. Modern film uses synchronous sound and this is expected when it comes to film. In our mixing and editing we can match our music tracks to time perfectly with events occurring within the narrative. If done correctly, this will be effective in achieving learning outcome 3.
Chion’s term rendered sound addressed the use of elements in a soundtrack sounding ‘real’ but aren’t actually realistic in terms of the visual medium. In our Animation soundtrack, there are elements that aren’t exactly realistic because they may not be heard in that way in a realistic environment. However, Chion discusses the need for this sound as it creates cinematic effect and adds value to the scene, making the film more interesting and having a bigger impact upon the audience.
