After reading Audio-Vision, many parts twice, I have become increasingly inspired by
Walter Murch's foreword. The quote 'We gestate in sound and are born into sight,
Cinema gestated in sight and was born into sound' – (Murch 1994: 1) has persuaded
me to research into the importance of sound in cinema and how psychologically these
sounds combined with the music, affect how much or how little we truly appreciate a
film. I have chosen my dissertation concept and I will be looking into the importance
of sound and how it and the visual display rely on each other to keep an audience
interestedand informed of the flow of events. Sound is a major importance because as
far as the argument goes, the visual cannot triumph individually because 'sound rules
as solitary Queen of our senses' – (Murch 1994: 1).
