ACOUSTIC ECOLOGY

acoustic ecology is a very interesting concept. The relationship between living beings, sounds, and a natural enviornment is something worth studying. However, some things regarding the reading are a little ridiculous. Specifically the term "noise activism". quite frankly that makes little to almost no sense. using a word like activism requires many more things besides solely sound. I understand the point and angle they are trying to come at but activism is way to deep and complex to pigeon hole into a single sense. That being said, the study of sound in relation to nature is awesome and worth looking into. it is something that film makers cannot avoid and it is something that we as humans can relate to and connect with when we hear certain sounds. The film industry could expand this theory and let is spill into other aspects of filmmaking, such as angles, movements and especially camera distance.
