Sound

Words associated with sound in film
Diegetic - Natural sounds which were produced while the recording was happening. For example, a door being slammed in a scene or a dog barking. The effect of this is that the scene seems more natural and realistic.
Non-Diegetic - Sound which was edited into a film after it had been recorded. For example, sound effects like car sirens and gunshots or music. These can be used to exaggerate parts of the film or to draw your attention to certain things happening in the scene.
Tone/Atmospheric - Sound with characteristics of a certain mood creating a certain mood or feeling for the audience. For example, a piece of music in a Thriller can make the audience feel full of suspense and tense but a piece of music from a Romance film can make the audience feel elated.
Pitch - Specific frequency of sound. This is most effective in thriller films when a low pitch is used which created mysterious tension or in horror films when a high pitch is used to make the audience jump (feel frightened).
Pace - How quick or slow music sounds. Fast paced music is used in action films so the music is synchronous to what is happening on the screen while a slow pace can be used in romance films to create a relaxed feeling.
Asynchronous - Music which is not in synch with what is happening on screen. For example, if there is a joyful melody used during a bloody scene in a horror film, this could show the killer to be seen as a sadist because the joyful sound implies that the killer is feeling pleasure from causing pain.
Synchronous - Music which is in sync or 'matches' what is happening on screen. An example is fast paced music in a thriller film to match the action happening on screen.
Loud/Quiet - The volume of a piece of music. The volume can create the audience to jump if it is loud in a horror film or the volume of music in a film can be very low if it is in the background while there is speech.
Silences - A period of complete silence during a piece of music. This can be used to make the audience think about what has happened after a scene or it can be used to create a sense of tension during a piece of music.
