FAQ About The Role of Silence in Film Aesthetics
What are common misconceptions about the use of silence in films?
A common misconception is that silence is simply the absence of sound or indicates a lack of content. In reality, silence is an intentional choice that can be as meaningful and expressive as dialogue or music. Some also believe that silence makes films boring, whereas it can actually enhance engagement by compelling viewers to focus more intensely on visual and emotional cues.
