SOUND

SOUND can represent social groups in a range of ways:

• The language and accent of a character.
• Use of music can tell you about the character.
• Ambient sounds can tell you about the setting.
• Dialogue.

Diegetic: Sound originating from a source in the scene, (e.g. dialogue)

Non- diegetic: Sound added in postproduction, (e.g. background music)

Sound motif: A sound or piece of music associated with a character, place or theme (like the JAWS)

Sound Bridge: Sound linking the end of one scene and the beginning of the next.

Dialogue: Words spoken by actors.

Voiceover: Dialogue spoken by an unseen character over related images.

Ambient sound: Background noise.

There are two more example of sound:

Direct address: When the actor speaks directly to the camera.

Sound mix: The way in which the different sounds in a scene are mixed together.
