What I mean is, is when a filmmaker chooses a sound mix for their movie, do they choose for artistic reasons, or are they choosing cause one is technically superior to the other. Is Mono or Stereo sound better for some types of movies, art wise, or does 5.1 surround sound beat them both, just cause it's better for anything?
I remember when I was in film school and the movie Gravity came out. I thought that since the movie is from the point of view of astronauts in space, and that all they can hear in space, is what comes through their radio head receivers, that the whole movie should have been in mono, to reflect their POV of radio head receiver communication.
But other students in the class thought that would have been a terrible idea, and that surround sound is better than mono or stereo, and it's not a question of what artistically feels right.
Do you think that's true though?
