May 2011 It Sounds Mouth Watering In all types of film‚ especially with animation‚ the images that are created on screen visually engage the audience to the world of the film‚ yet in order to fully experience all that the film has to offer‚ the visual aspects are only half of the importance.

The evolution of sound in cinema Jay Beck General histories of the relationship between sound and image in cinema tend to perpetuate an ocular-centricity (emphasizing vision over the other senses) that dates back to the very earliest experiments in “moving pictures”—a term which itself serves to confuse historians.
