Terminology- Sound

For now this will be the last post on terminology, thank goodness. On the down side this post will have  a lack of pictures due to it being on sound, sorry.

Diegetic- Sound which is there during recording e.g. dialogue.

Non-diegetic- Sound added in e.g. music.

Ambient- Background sounds e.g. cars, wind.

Asynchronous- Indigenous to the action but not synchronised with the action.

Contrapuntal- Music that doesn’t fit in with the scene.

Dialogue- Talking.

Direct address- Breaking the forth wall.

Pitch- Frequency of audible sound.

Voice over- Talking over the action.

Sound bridge- Sound from previous scene carries over to the next one.

Sound motif- Sound that links with character, settings, situation or idea.

Sound track- Music and voice overs added to film post-production.

All done!
