Tastes differ. But it is no doubt that these days it is difficult to find a person who doesn’t like films. A good film is always a result of the hard work of many people. It is no doubt that these days the good sound is half of any picture. Watching a good film it is easy to forget that all the sounds are made artificially. This is used in order to make a film more realistic. Sound design is almost as old as taking films itself. It is obvious that a better degree of the use of film sound improved the storytelling in modern cinema. Due to the technological and cultural developments of sound design the expectations of filmgoers have changed. After the invention of Dolby Stereo sound systems obtained high-fidelity reproduction qualities. Before that film sound was of extremely low fidelity, and only occasional sound effects were in practice. With new powerful tools to produce sound more creative decisions are required now. The responsible for the film’s audio track is a sound designer. He works with the director of the film to produce the soundtrack which would utilize all the expressive possibilities of new technical equipment. In Hollywood, the name of supervising sound editor stands for the head of the sound department (Lastra, 126). Usually, there are two components in the soundtrack – dialogue and music. In modern cinema sound effects are widely used too. What is special about them is that they operate at sensual and emotional levels more than at an intellectual one. On the other hand, the word dialogue usually indicates a portion of the soundtrack that appeals more directly to the intellect. It is obvious that the dialogue is the most crucial source of story-telling for the audience. Sound effects are widely used to provide mood, ambiance, and size, but they do not carry information. They appeal to senses and emotions more than to the intellect. The dialogue is the main tool in the development of the plot. Music appears to be something intermediate between dialogue and sound effects, but still, it mostly operates on an emotional/sensual plane. The music tells the viewers how to feel in every moment of the narration. In most cases, the audience is unaware of the fact that the music modulates its specific emotional response to what is being watched. Sound effects are not stated to be more meaningful than other characteristics at many levels. But they also add up to the audience’s understanding of the plot and characters. In sound, design music serves for both verbal and non-verbal communication whereas dialogue employs verbal communication only. Sound effects are a non-verbal means of communication. In the “final mix” dialogue, music, and sound effects are brought together to create a complex effect. Storytelling in film deals with creating and breaking the continuity of fragments, because films are based on series of fragments of reality. Dialogue, music, and sound effects help to separate these fragments from each other (Hillman, 323). Amelie is a French romantic comedy about love and shyness. It is a story of a young waitress who was brought up in rather strange circumstances. Her parents loved her immensely, but her world was devoid of any physical contact. After her mother’s death, Amelie lives only with her withdrawn father. Then the narration shifts to the story of the
