Just as dominant cultures homogenized languages and customs, the vast and varying views of the skies were sidelined as unimportant and false.Luckily, early films reflect some of these historical perspectives.Ĭinema and films have allowed us to visualize and bring these worlds to life, shaping the way that generations imagine space. Cultures that recorded their beliefs orally, like the Navajo or the Hawaiins, are not as commonly known. That is why we are aware of their Astronomical achievements and astrological beliefs.įor instance, we have all heard of Ptolomy and Zues. We know this thanks to the wealth of knowledge transcribed by dominant cultures like the Greeks. For millennia people from every time and culture have turned their eyes upward to wonder, observe, and explore what lay beyond the stars. The same way we have been imagining the heavens from the beginning of time.
So, how do sound designers imagine sound for films set in space if there can be no real life references? In deep space, in the large empty areas between stars and planets, no such molecules exist to create vibrations. In order for sound to travel, mediums such as water or air must be present like they are here on Earth. Like heat and light sound travels in waves, but unlike them, sound can only travel through vibrations of atoms and molecules.
