Sound Terminology

Diegetic - You can see where the sound comes from:
  • Dialogue e.g. Tones/accents/ phrases
  • Background noise e.g. Tv/radio
  • Ambient sound- things you don't pay attention to but notice if its not there. e.g. people talking in the background of a restaurant
  • Asynchronous sound- Sound that doesn't match the action/scene
Non-Diegetic- sound that is added later:
  • Sound effects
  • Soundtrack/character motifs
  • Asynchronous sound- Sound that doesn't match the action/scene
