Question

Have you ever considered how tedious an action or suspense movie would be without sound effects? Sounds are a mechanism for building suspense. The snap of breaking a twig in the forest lets you know the main character is not alone. A staged fight scene seems real when you hear the sound of a hard whack. Even with all the options modern technology offers, many sound effects are created using common materials. Sounds effects artists produce the sound of crackling flames by crinkling wax paper. Shaking a sheet of aluminum foil creates a loud rumble of thunder. In a fight scene fake punches seem to connect. The sounds of fighting are produced by sound effects artists who pummel cushions or wet their hands and clap them together. Finding a way to create just the right sound is a big accomplishment. Sound effects artists are an adventure movie star's real stars. Left, a man holding two coconut halves in a box.
