Dialogue

A dialogue is a conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or movie. 

Sound Bridge

When the scene begins with the carry-over sound from the previous scene before the new sound begins.

Sound Motif

A sound motif is a sound effect or combination of sound effects that are associated with a particular character, setting, situation or idea through the film. The use of sound motifs can help shape a story that requires many characters and many locations.

Sound Effect

Sound effect is when any sound, other than music or speech, artificially reproduced to create an effect in a dramatic presentation, e.g the sound of a storm or a creaking door.

Asynchronous Sound

Sound which is related to the action but not precisely synchronized with the action. Here at 1:15 is an example of asynchronous sound when a car is heard crashing.

Synchronous Sound

Sound that appears to be matched to certain movements occurring in the scene, for example when footsteps correspond to feet walking. Here at 4:40 is an example of synchronous sound when you can hear the footsteps of the two police officers.

Non Diegetic Sounds

Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action e.g. narrators commentary or mood music. Here in the first 30 seconds is an example of non diegetic sound in the form of mood music.
