How sound is used in relation to point of view and story ?
The first is people’s imagination of the sound (when the sound may be more than the picture). For example, at the beginning of “We Need to Talk About Kevin” (31 seconds), a film-like picture appears. At this time, you can hear the sound of the film showing in the background, and white space (about 6s) is used to remind viewers that the film is about to be shown. The title appeared in the 37-second picture, and the sound effect of the LED light emphasized the picture. In 44 seconds, the screen shows the curtain blown by the wind, but the background sound is still the sound of the film projection, which seems to have no relationship. However, as the camera keeps closing, the background sound gradually becomes larger and accompanied by the sound of the next screen, which gives people a certain space for imagination and hints. With a roar (1 minute and 19 seconds), the two scenes are separated. In about 2 minutes and 59 seconds, the picture is facing a mass of red water, but the sound is very rich (including the sound of water, voices, and Musical Instruments), giving people more space for imagination, but it is not completely divorced from the picture that the audience sees.

The second is the correlation between sound and picture. This connection gives us a sense of reality, a sound we can hear every day. Like the noise of the crowd, breathing, medicine falling on the floor, people walking on the floor, doors opening and doors closing, birds singing. It gives a strong sense of authenticity and is easy to relate to the story.
