In sound design production, it's comprised of many layers of sound to enhance the filming production's work. Lets start off with the foley, the foley is added after filming, recorded or added separately, foley creates the everyday normal sounds we hear in our day to day lives to the sounds of the nonexistent sound of alien creatures we see in those si-fi movies. The next layer is the ambient sound also called background noise, the sound in the background be it soft rain or music to set the mood, ambient noise, it gives the production more depth and more life like, as you can imagine in real life there is always some kind of sound going on in the background like the tick of your clock or the hum of your computer's fan, they something like natural sounds. Special sound effects (SFX) is yet another layer in the art of the sound design created on the computer, the special sound effects play side by side with the foley sometimes creating completely brand new sounds off the foley by intense tweaking and pitching. Of course, one of the biggest and loudest layers of sound in film is the dialogue, the string of words the keeps the story going the people say when their mouths move, most times the dialogue is recorded after all the actions are done, simply because when the lines that are said during the shooting become so muffled by all the other noises such as the squeak of the tripod the shouts of backstage people or an airplane flying low to the ground. All these various types of sound come together in the final product to create a film that had depth and life to it, like a picture, the more shades and tones added to the picture the more realistic it'll look.

Below is one of the biggest plot developing fight in Star Wars, a fight between Obi Wan and his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker. In this section the scenes switch from place to place near the volcano. Throughout the scenes special effects sounds of the swings of the lightsabers and the sounds they creating upon contact with something. the tense music playing in the background playing up the dramatic tension is the final part of the film. Along with the grunts and shout form the characters themselves showing they are indeed having an intensive battle if you couldn't see from just them moving back and forth exchanging blows to each other, with the sound of the bubbling lava and the dramatic wind blowing. All this to draw us to be tense on the edge of our seats glued to the screen tense.
