Sound effects in a video are just as relevant as editing or dialogue cleanup. Adding these to a video helps create emotion. It delivers information and helps direct the mood of the situation. It emphasizes what you are watching. A video with no sound, horrible sound or lack of sound effects will ruin the tape.
