Sound...

Diegetic: This is sound from which the source is on screen. This could be:
Voices of characters, sounds made by objects, music from on screen instruments or a radio.

Non-diegetic: This is sound from an off-screen source, such as:
A narrator's commentary, sound effects which is added for dramatic effect, mood music.

Synchronus Sound: The synchronising of sound and image in the editing process. Sound is matched with the movements occuring in the images.

Asynchronus Sound: Sound not matched with the visible source onscreen, for example, an ambulence siren in the background.

Sound Effects: Simulates reality, creates illusion and a certain mood.

Sound Motif: A sound effect or combination of sound effects that are associated with a particular character, setting, situation or idea through the film.

Sound Bridge: These normally occur at the beginning of one scene when the sound from the previous scene is still present.
