I have looked at different audio books and digital books. The audio book I listened to was Harry Potter. What I liked best about the Harry Potter audio was that it was narrated by Steven Fry, who’s voice really brings the characters to life and the magic to life. A negative could be that, depending on the age of the child, the audio book might take a long time to be completed. A young child at bed time might falling asleep or losses attention to the story.

 

The second audio book I have chosen is Winnie the Pooh. What I liked about Winnie the Pooh is that the of the different characters are all voiced by different actors such as Steven Fry and Dame Judy Dench which, along with the sound effects, makes the recording interesting. Each of the short stories are unique and different. The stories are short, have a start, middle and end and therefore would retain the child’s interest all the way through. A negative could be that once you heard the five stories it would get boring to hear them again and again.

Sound can better help to immerse the audience in a film. By adding sounds like rustling leaves in a jungle scene this makes it look like it is actually happening. The audience can feel like they are actually there.

Music can also make a big difference because it also can help the audience feel the emotion of the scene. For example, in an action scene, the wrong music or sound would ruin the moment but the right music playlist would increase the enjoyment of the audience.
