In this write-up, we’ll discuss how to make a scene completely silent and how to reintroduce specific sounds into your scene.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we think about the concept of silence, we may be quick to imagine the removal of all sound\u2014nothingness. Back in your school days, you may have had a teacher yell “Silence!” to a rowdy, restless classroom, and the pupils quickly and quietly took their seats, somewhat scared. Then, the classroom falls into silence, waiting for the teacher to continue the lesson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, that silence is not pure silence. There’s no removal of all audible elements. Instead, you start to hear the quiet sounds, which (at first) were inaudible due to louder noises\u2014the ticking of the wall clock, the shuffling of footsteps in the corridor outside the classroom, the grinding of someone pulling their chair beneath them on the floor above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
