DO YOU THINK THERE ARE TOO HIGH SOUND IN THE HALL?
If it can be comforting: You are not alone. In fact, complaints audiences worldwide, of there being too loud sound on the films of the time. This brochure is about why theaters can not just turn down the volume level.

WHY CAN NOT JUST turn down the volume?
All images and all audio on a film is carefully planned to give the audience a very specific experience. On the audio side, there are such. a single reference volume level so that the film director may know in advance what volume level the different scenes will have in the cinema. Cinema's task is to capture both picture and sound just as the director intended when he made the film. Vamdrup Kino has now installed a new sound system: Dolby Digital surround sound.
Upon installation, the system has been adjusted by authorized DOLBY technicians, so that the sound is heard in the cinema, as accurately as possible to the sound in the recording studio, where the director approved the film's soundtrack.

MAN MUST HEAR WHAT IS SAID.
If you see a person in close, and he talks normally, you will easily be able to determine if the sound level is right. If you think the actor scream instead of talk, it is perhaps because the film operator running sound at too high a level.
If you have normal hearing and have trouble perceiving what is being said, it may be that the film operator running sound at a low level. Kino's projectionists are certainly not infallible, and if you think there is something wrong with the sound or the sound is misaligned, we will ask you to have trouble with giving message.
On the Danish film, it is necessary to drive with a sound level so everyone in the room can hear what is being said. On foreign films are text no help to perceive the words, and someone seems therefore that the sound can be screwed down .... the audience to the reading to what is being said.
But to those who will listen to the dialogue must be able to understand what is being said in the film, the operator must set the level as the film's director has decided it should be.

MODIFIED SOUND LEVEL DOES ALSO AN AMENDED SOUND IMAGE.
When the volume up or down the volume control, change not just the level of the sound effects, but also the rest of the soundstage. Many of the soft sounds may disappear, and the balance in the sound changed.
Screwed level down, it will be heard as the bass turned down much more than, for example. speech region. You will get a completely different sound than is provided by the instructor.

SOUND LEVEL IS IMPORTANT FOR involvement in FILM.
In many films appears scenes where the sound to be intrusive and unpleasant. The feelings that sound sets in motion are important tools for the viewer to engage with the film. Being level is too low, creating a distance to the action, and you become outsiders consider to what happens on the canvas. Screw the sound down, attention is therefore a major intrusion in the film expression.
It is one of cinema's greatest advantage that you can see the movie with the image composition and sound as filmmaker painstakingly created.
It is only in the cinema, you can enjoy a movie on the way the director intended it to be heard.

Film should be seen - and heard - in the cinema
Enjoy !
