Tune - A recurring melody

Sound effects - Sounds other than dialogue or music

 

Voice over-  is a production technique where a voice that is not part of the narrative is used in a radio, television production, film making, theatre, or other presentations. The voice-over may be spoken by someone who appears elsewhere in the production or by a specialist voice actor. It is pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information.  Also the character some times can hear the narrator so it becomes a Diegetic sound e.g

 

 

Direct Address - Speak directly to the camera or audience

 

Diegetic Sound - Sound belongs in the film, the character might have the radio on so him/her can hear it with the audience.

 

Non-Diegetic Sound - Sound that the character can not hear but the audience can hear it

 

Sound Bridges - Sound continues into more than one scene

 

Parallel Sound - Complements the moving image

  

Contrapuntal Sound - Sound that dues not fit the moving image
