In the scene from X Men when Charles Xavier talks to Logan about the mutant school, there are many different sound elements that work together, in order to create an affect on the audience.
Voiceover
Voiceover in the scene resembles characters as being like God, in a way that puts them in control.
Charles's voice while he talks to logan is played over footage of kids and teachers in the school, as a voiceover; this creates an affect that Charles is in charge of the school, and is the leader of the 'X Men' group. This is affective as is shows Charles's dominance and importance in the film.
After the first shots, Charles's voice is only portrayed as a voiceover, and he has the most dialogue. Logan also speaks in the voiceover at 01:17, when he asks about Rogue's future. This shows that even though he is new to the school, he automatically takes a leading role. This tells the audience that he is an important character.
Dialogue
There is not much dialogue in the scene; this lack of dialogue allows the audience to appreciate the visuals of the school, and the grounds more, but also allows them to think about what is happening. It also allows the audience to appreciate the other sound elements such as sound effects and music.
Most of the dialogue is between Rogue and Bobby towards the end of the scene. This establishes their relationship, which means they they obviously like each other. This shows that dialogue, even if there isn't that much, can show relationships between characters.
