Sound Terms ~ Theory Revision

Parallel Sound - follows the narrative and links in creating a three dimensional world which draws the audience into the film.
Sound Bridge - This is where any sound is carried over several shots to link the narrative. 
Diegetic - Sound that relates to the scene and that can be seen in the scene. (In the field of vision)
Non Diegetic - Sound that's not visible in the scene which may come in the form of a voice over.
Ambient Sound - Background noise belonging to the scene but not always visible within the mes en scene.
Dialogue - The voices of the characters speaking to each other. This is also when the sound is re-recorded and the actors have to lip sync.
Synchronous Sound- This is sound that is in sync with an object/subject such as a car or a persons mouth.
Asynchronous sound - The sound is deliberately out of sync with the scene.
Sound Effect - This is added to the visual production to further exaggerate or mark a moment in the film. It can also be used to make the film seem more naturalistic by exaggerating everyday sounds like footsteps.
Voice Over - This is where the diegesis provides information usually about the visuals on screen to the audience.
These are important to think about when making our thriller opening as we need to use the right ones to create the tense tone that we want.
