continually as a vector to shape the natural world of the film, which is not natural at all, nor realistic, but compelling and bold. Bergman's extraordinary audio effects sound very strong; they tend to over modulate the loudness of the naturalistic diegetic noises and through this exemplification, the audio is dully noted. It also serves to close the gap that would otherwise transpire quietly in the absences of dialogue and subsequently, altering the perceived images differently. In the scene where Johan…
