My initial thoughts on using sound in film: It helps you understand what is going on and can show you how you should be feeling, with what is being portrayed in the film, so you can connect with the characters emotions.
-Synchronous sound: sound that is apparently synchronized with on screen action.
-Asynchronous sound: sound that is apparently not synchronized with on screen action, its amplified through contrast.
-Contrapuntal sound: sound that totally contradicts with the action or mood.
-Foleying: a sound effects technique for synchronous effects or live effects.
-Diegetic: sound whose source is visible on screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film. (characters voices, sounds made by objects, music)
-Non-diegetic: sound whose source is neither visible on screen nor has been implied to be present in the action. (narrators commentary, sound effects for dramatic effect, mood music)
Another word for non-diegetic sound is commentary sound.
