The Art of Sound Design

After watching this video, what do you notice about the importance of sound design in film?  Why is it so essential?

    Sound design is important in order to bring your film to life; it's able to elicit emotions that the visuals alone could not have achieved. Sound design is able to make a scene much more dramatic and immersive, which is one of the greater effects that sound design has on the audience. This is so essential because the biggest factor of any film that you need to consider is the emotional impact and value that it has. Emotions are one of the most powerful tools that can be used to tell your story and message. Audiences will leave remembering what they felt during it the most. Emotions are how you connect to people, which is why sound is so vital in film. Without sound design, that impact and emotional value would be greatly diminished and the tone would be harder to discern. Additionally, sound design can be used to tell a story. This can be by adding emotion but also by adding context or emphasizing specific points.
