The evolution of sound design in film

Isn’t it fascinating how sound design has transformed in cinema over the decades? From the silence of early films to the intricate soundscapes in modern blockbusters, each choice reflects cultural shifts and technological advances. I’m curious about how you think the rise of immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos is influencing storytelling and audience engagement.
