Belazs and Sound

What struck my attention about Bela Belazs’s article is the section in which he discusses the picture forming the sound. It is mentioned that the connection of a picture to a sound may be different than if a spectator just had the sound, in terms of the objects look, function and so on. The comparison to the use of colors in paintings came to my liking as though Belazs implying that without a picture, or any visual source, to go with it, sound is not complete. I think it all goes down to what George Lucas has said, “Sound is fifty percent of the movie going experience, and I’ve always believed audiences are moved and excited by what they hear in my movies at least as much as by what they see.”
