Sound is one of the key elements of life and one of the most important aspects of filmmaking. A film is not considered a great hit without having a great sound. Although we might think of a film as an essentially visual experience, we really cannot afford to underestimate the importance of sound in a film. Three of the most important parts of sound that compose the soundtrack in a film are the spoken words, sound effects, and music.
             A great way of describing the three aspects of sound would be through a movie. A movie that millions of people have seen is "Star Wars, A New Hope," directed and written by George Lucas in 1977. I would consider this film to be the greatest and best example of excellent sound in film. "A New Hope" begins with a rebel ship being boarded by Darth Vader, the curl leader of the Dark Force. The story opens up by introducing a simple boy by the name of Luke Skywalker. Luke lives with his aunt and uncle on a farm on Tatooine. He is a young man who is desperate to get off his planet and get to the Academy like his friends. His uncle disagrees with Luke's plans of moving on with his life, like the rest of his friends. Luke meets C-3PO and R2-D2, and then that's when the trouble begins. The action starts when Luke, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Ben Kenobi attempt to rescue Princess Leia from the command of the Dark Star.
             Throughout the movie, the sound is used to the best of my knowledge. Starting off with the dialogue, it presents the speaker as an individual, rather than the imaginary creation of a story. It also serves as a way of telling the story and expressing the feeling and motivations of the characters. A good example of dialogue in the movie would be the character of Darth Vader. Darth Vader had an excellent voice for his character. He had the voice of a leader, a commander, anything that can be taken charge of. His voice went well with his physical appearance; it made him stand out more.
