Sound Terminology


Sound Effects
Sound added to the visuals in editing. For example traffic outside of a window, wind noises ect.

Sound Bridge
This is where a sound continues across one or more cuts.

Dialogue
The sound made by characters talking to each other. Sometimes this is re-recorded in a studio with the actors attempting to lip-sink.
Sound Motif
A sound associated with a character or a place. This could be a particular musical figure that plays when they appear for example the tune that plays when James bond is in an action scene.

Diegetic Sound
Sound that comes from a person or an object in the digenesis and seen within the field of vision.

Ambient Sound
Background sound belonging to the digenesis but not always in the field of vision. Ambient sound within the field of vision may include things like crowd chatter in the background, cars or bird noises.

Non Diegetic Sound
Sound that comes from nothing within the field of vision and has been added afterwards in the editing process. The clearest examples of this are sound track music or a voiceover.
