A(e)nd ...

I always payed attention to the sound of the clips or movies. I have to confess that during horror movies (which are not my favorite) , the first thing I do is volume down or (if I am in the cinema) cover my ears. (!) I realize that a masterpiece or the worst horror movie would be nothing without sound. Of course after that exercise I am more aware of how much sound affects on the viewer/listener... I see the ads on the tv and I hear that they have payed a lot of attention in order to attract the consumer. A good combination of sound and image can really get into your head... If I try to remember favorite scenes from movies and films they are always connected to sound or music. (from shutting a door to listen to the worst explosion -inspired by a movie I saw recently -->the sacrifice of Andrei Tarkovski: where the direction is so simple and he is working a lot with the sound psychology).
Overall the whole procedure was really enjoyable.. from choosing the images and recording the sounds to make them work perfectly together. As you work more and more you become more creative and you discover things that you could not even imagine you can do.

I agree. Block your ears and the world shuts down. But cover your eyes and the universe explodes!
