Sound
Diegetic Sound - Sound that is part of the film, for example talking, weather and major events happening in the film.
Non-Diegetic - Sound we do recognise as part of the film world.
Sound Bridges - A sound bridge is a sound from one scene that will often continue onto the next scene.
Parallel - Compliments the image the viewer sees.
Contrapuntal - Sound that does not not fit the image.
Sting - Musical punctuation.
Theme - A key passage of music linked to the subject.
Incidental Music - "Background" adds atmosphere to the action.
Ambient Sound - Providing audio continuity between shots.
Sound Motif - Repeated sound that comes to be identified with a particular character, place or thing, we hear the sound and it adds axpectation.
This is a clear and concise summary of the key terminology relating to sound and music in film. We will be doing more research in this area, including finding appropriate sound fx from GarageBand for a thriller film and presenting them - perhaps in a podcast?
