In today's lesson, I learnt about sound and the effects of sound in films and TV programmes. The different types of sound that we were taught about are:
1. Diegetic - anything that the actors can hear (e.g. radio, cars)
2. Non-diegetic - anything that the actors cannot hear (e.g. voice over)
3. Synchronous - matched with the visible source of the sound on the screen.
4. Asynchronous - not matched with the visible source of the sound on the screen.
5. Sound bridge - blending two scenes together by sound.
6. Ambient - the surrounding sounds that create the atmosphere and creates soundscape.
