« [Weather Forecast] was particularly noted for its soundtrack. Using minimal commentary and sparsely placed atmospheric music, sounds are often separated from their original images and superimposed over other visuals. The teleprinter is heard over the sea; the sound of the ship overlaps shots of the land. Sound effects are used to dramatic effect: the wailing of the wind, the creaking of cables. A medley of male and female voices delivering the forecast blends with sounds of the storm to add a sense of urgency. The sync sound dialogue adds a human, conversational tone. As the storm begins to abate, the fisherman, putting out his nets, begins to hum, the sound mingling with the wind and the waves. »
