Types of sound

SOUND BRIDGES
Sound bridges can lead in or out of a scene. They can occur at the beginning of one scene when the sound from the previous scene carries over briefly before the sound from the new scene begins. Alternatively, they can occur at the end of a scene, when the sound from the next scene is heard before the image appears on the screen. Sound bridges are one of the most common transitions in the continuity editing style, one that stresses the connection between both scenes since their mood (suggested by the music) is still the same.

DIEGETIC SOUND
Any voice, musical passage, or sound effect presented as originating froma source within the film's world is diegetic

NON-DIEGETIC SOUND
If it originates outside the film (as most background music) then it is non-diegetic.

SYNCHRONOUS SOUND
Sound that is matched with the movements occuring in the images

ASYNCHRONOUS SOUND
