FAQ About The Role of Silence in Film Aesthetics
How can silence be used to reflect themes in a film?
Silence can reflect themes in a film by underscoring moments of introspection, conflict, or transformation. It can emphasize themes like isolation, inner turmoil, or existential reflection by providing moments of pause where the absence of dialogue or music aligns with the thematic content. Silence can thus serve as an auditory metaphor, enhancing the film’s narrative depth.
