Music.

Listening with intention

Rhythm, music and sound effects serve different roles in visual storytelling. Rhythm can shape editing pace, ambience can establish a location, and small effects can clarify a movement. As you listen, pay attention to loudness changes, the way music enters and exits, and whether dialogue would remain understandable over a busy soundtrack. A good mix is not simply a collection of loud elements; leaving space can make the next moment feel more meaningful.
