The goal of the present research is to recognize the elements and factors of the film`s sound track, emphasizing on the factthat they can have extra functions other than representing mere reality. The intention of such functions – that we interpretthem as aesthetical functions of sound – is to convey various concepts other than existing realities to the audience.Suchapplication of sound can imply more profound meanings which have been formed in the filmmaker`smind. In fact the mainquestion of this research has been in finding the elements with such potentials.For achieving the letter, available information, documents, books and magazines plus Internet Sites & Links werecollected.Then, observational analysis of samples (films) having the above mentioned criteria, completed theresearch.Therefore, the methodology of the research formed in documentation and observation.Analysis of the findings and juxtaposing them, led us to interesting out comes. Hence, the resultant of this research can beedefined as follows:١. Aesthetical values of sound and image have elements which can interact both in relation to each other and individually.٢.Disengaged from the idea that what are the aesthetical elements of images , we come to the point that by recognizing theeffective elements in sound aesthetic , one can determine such values .The outcome of this survey represents that by applying changes in the level of sound, its nature, perspective, texture, timbre,tone, echo and speed or playing sound in reverse mode, can directly obtain aesthetical functions.But there are other elements as well, that can indirectly cause aesthetical functions through the relation of audiences withsound. To name some of these elements we can mention the cultural status of audience, also place and time situation of themtowards the film, and finally recognition and perception of sound by the audience.If each of the above factors is used with creativity, it would have led to a depth in the content of the subject; otherwise itbrings simplicity and distancing a documentary from being conceptual.
