Sound is very important in a film as it helps build up tension and create the scene of the film. It also help portray the characters feelings and by the that the audience would respond as they would see the point of view and would properly feel the same way.

the different genres on the film are used depending on the situation of what's happening in the film. For example someone could be doing nothing and laying down in bed therefore the music would be slow and low however if someone was running the music could be very fast as if running with the person to which could be running away from someone therefore the music may show their desperation.
