ABSTRACT
It’s been said before that audiences will more readily accept bad images when
watching a film than they will accept bad audio. Out of focus, jerky, misframed
shots, in limited doses, will not cause a viewer to switch off. Bad sound, on the
other hand, will turn the film experience into a torturous ordeal. If the audience
can’t hear what is going on, or if the content simply hurts their ears, then it is
very difficult to maintain their attention.
