The audio on the film does not line up with the frame of film it corresponds to, so the audio splice and video splice would be out of sync. Chalk it up to artistic license. By playing the sound effect in sync with the apparent (off-screen) image change, it is clearer to the audience what has happened. | |

As a projectionist you get shipped the reels, which you then have to splice together, for example on a "platter," i.e. a giant reel. I think contemporary film format also has the SDDS digital sound on there in between the sprockets... also as an optical print but in an elaborate 2D barcode. I'll add these details into my answer. | |
