I learnt a lot about sound and realised that it is just as important as the moving footage and editing. We did a small experiment in class and listened to some clips without seeing the image which made me notice how hearing some sounds and not being able to see it builds tension and anxiety. We also tent to associate sounds with what we've heard and seen which also makes links between sound and emotion.
Here are some sound related terms:
Soundtrack- All sound heard on a film including the score, songs, dialogue and sound effects.
Diegetic- The world of the story (as opposed to the world of the audience). This is a world of a story that is not ours
Diegetic sound- Sound that has its source in the world of the story. For example, when a car turns on or when two people are talking.
Non-Diegetic sound- Sound that comes from a source outside the world of the story. For example, background music.
Synchronous Sound- Sound that matches the images on screen such as when someone's mouth moves while they're talking.
Asynchronous Sound- Sound that does not match the images on screen such as dialogue playing without the mouth moving (thoughts/fashback sounds)
Score- Music created to accompany a film.
Foley- The technical process by which sounds are created or altered for use in film.
