We had to write an essay on sound in a film or game. I chose Saving Private Ryan. I found that to record the sounds for the beach scene they got actual guns from the era and recorded them firing so that they could be correct. They also left sound out of some scenes as it makes the scenes more tense than they would be with sound. I also learned that sound editors can use surround sound to their advantage. In scenes where a plane would fly over head they would have it start loud on one side and finish loud on the other so to immerse the audience into the scene.
