Diegetic/Non-diegetic
The term 'diegetic' refers to the world of the text. Dialogue, sound effects, music with a source within the text are examples of diegetic sounds- the actors/characters can hear these sounds.
'Non-diegetic' refers to everything outside the world of the text. Voiceovers, soundtracks, captions, titles and subtitles are examples of non-diegetic sounds- the actors/characters cannot hear these sounds.
On/Off-screen
On-screen sound: the audience can see the source of the sound
Off-screen sound: the audience cannot see the source of the sound and this enables the extension of the diegetic world
Parallel/Contrapuntal
Parallel sound: matches the action on screen
Contrapuntal sound: does not match the action on screen
Sound Bridge
The sound bridge helps to create a smooth transition between two scenes.
