Sound Response and Matt

The presentation by Matt Hulse was very interesting.  It really help put into perspective how important sound is to a films production.  Each different recording told its own story in a different way.  Some were more musical while others were simply voices or monologues.  To me it was like reading a book where there are no images except the ones in your head.  It let you concentrate more on what was playing and allowed you to hear the highs and lows of the audio.  You could hear the curiosity in the blind girls voice and the pain behind the woman's monologue.  The whole project has given me a new respect to sound artists in general.  They have to create the "other half" of the movie and have many ways of going about it.  Even just recording in a house had its complications, I cant even imagine what its like in a crowded area or exterior shot.
