Music and sound two of the most important features when it comes to editing a film. A good example of this is the music used in Star Wars when Darth Vader enters a scene, it's very dark and suspenseful and allows the audience to realise that he is the villain. If the music was changed to a more uplifting, cheerful tune then the purpose would be completely ruined. The audience would get the impression that Darth Vader's character was created as a joke and would make the film look like a parody genre. Sound effects are also very important. If it wasn't for good sound effects then it would make the film look fake and would also make the acting look bad. Sometimes, actors create the sound effects themselves while on set performing a certain action (slapping somebody for example). However usually the sound effects are created by foley artists (the art of recording the sound effect of one thing to make it sound like something else, eg: screwing up paper may sound like a crackling fire). Sound effects help to immerse the audience by making them believe that the actions of a character are real (like shooting a gun). In the YouTube clip below, somebody shows the how the film genre changes when the music is changed. The difference is extraordinary.
