Sound in Camera

Believe it or not, sound is extremely important hence the reason why there are a variety of different sounds. Each sound has its own affect and contributes effectively dependent upon the source that it is involved in. Below is a list of the different types of sound.


Digetic - Inside frame. Both audience and characters can hear sound
Non-Digetic - Only audience can hear. Often used to create tension
Soundbridge - Adds continuity as sound from one sequence carries on to the next sequence
Parallel - Directs attention specifically. Matches what we hear and can see
Contrapuntal - Counterpart to what we see and hear. Mismatch/no link
Leitmotif - Repeated theme or phrase used to suggest an idea or character within story
Synchronous - Sound that matches visual image such as dialogue
Asynchronous - Does not derive from source that is visible
Foley - Reproduction of everyday sounds such as a crash being made from another source


Within my title sequence, non-digetic and parallel sound will be used thoroughly to help establish our genre 'thriller' and create a tensed and serious mood for the audience. This should enable the audience to relate both to our film and the irony behind our title sequence.
