Response to Megan

Megan's second question is about whether or not sound evidence is really all that important, if the visual evidence alone can make the argument. In my opinion, it is. The point of structuring a documentary or film so that the visual cues present the same argument as the language isn't redundant, to me. Rather, it simply cements what's happening. We usually wouldn't rely on those visual cues as heavily except for when the sound is off, but when the sound is on, having such strong optical evidence sort of subconsciously affirms what's being said.
