Diegetic/ Non Diegetic sound

-The word diegetic refers to the word of the text

-Examples : dialogue, sound effects, music .with source within the text for example radio

- Non-diegetic refers to everything outside the world of the text

-Example : voice over, sound track, captions, titles, subtitles

- On screen sound - the audience can see the source of the sound

- Off screen sound - the audience can't see the the source of the sound

-Off screen sound enables the extension of the diegetic world

Sound : parallel / Contrapuntal
-Parallel sound matches the action
-Contrapuntal sound does not match the action

A Sound bridge helps create a smooth transition from one scene to another
