Sound

Diegetic sound- Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film

Non-diegetic sound- Non-diegetic sounds are sounds that have been added in, this can include things like music, a narration and sound effects. Non-diegetic sounds are often used to add drama to moments that would be silent without it.

Synchronous sound- Sound that is matched to certain movements occurring in the scene e.g when footsteps correspond to feet walking. 

Asynchronous sound-  Asynchronous sound is sound that is not synchronised with what's on the extract.

Sound effects- A sound other than speech or music made artificially for use in a play, film, or other broadcast production.

Sound motif- A recurring or dominant theme/sound.

Sound bridge- Common transitions in the continuity editing style, one that stresses the connection between both scenes since their mood (suggested by the music) is still the same.

Dialogue- A conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or film.

Voiceover- A piece of narration in a film or broadcast, not accompanied by an image of the speaker.

Direct address- The name of the person (normally) who is being directly spoken to. It is always a proper noun. It does not have any grammatical relationship to any part of the sentence. It is set off by commas.

Sound perspective- The apparent distance of a sound source, evidenced by its volume, timbre, and pitch. This type of editing is most common in how the audience hears film characters’ speech.
