I'm doing a research project about dialogue audio in film and have a few questions to ask those who are interested in sound design and mixing for film.

Please fill in this survey if you're interested to participate in my research: http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/DialogueAudio/

So I took your survey, but I'm not sure what you're getting at. Just because dialogue is more or less audible doesn't mean it's good. Take your 4 examples of the guys in the woods. The music has stingers and percussion that are distracting, having nothing to do with the dialogue being understandable. Some of the dialogue tracks have holes in them, which is a pet peeve of mine, so understandability isn't the issue. I can push the background sound out, give the actor a tinny sound, and understand him perfectly. But is that the best way to go?

Also, in the first set, POV of sound based on the shot has a lot to do with dialogue mixing. So I'm curious as to what you're after here.

I certainly hope you're not using this survey as a guide for proper dialogue editing and mixing.
