During Commemoration Day on the 4th of May, Holland grieves for the people killed in wars with two minutes of silence.
The visual components of a movie are obviously integral to filmmaking; the images that are the hallmark of our medium allow us to see the narrative unfold. However, cinema is also a medium of sound, and how we use the audible elements can drastically change how our audiences respond to our stories.
Since filmmakers essentially build a film out of nothing, compiling raw footage, sound effects, dialog, and music to form a visual story, it might be difficult to recognize that what we don't put in a film is just as important (if not more) as what we do put in.
Silence can actually speak louder to your viewers than a cacophony of sound effects, dialog, and music ever could.
