Technical Sound Research

 This chart is from an assignment I worked on in class. I studies the different types of sounds used in movies. I used what I learned in my film such as synchronous sound when Viktor calls  Jeremyah earlier in the film.

Technical element of sound	Example	Analyze  its role in the production of meaning
Synchronous sound	An alarm clock going off	It signifies the start of the movie, top of the morning.
Asynchronous sound	Lightning from a storm	The camera can use a close shot of the characters face to show their nervousness and what there scared of without having to show what the character is looking at.
Voiceover	The internal monologue in American Psycho	Voice over acts as a narrator to the audience.
Dialogue and mode of address	Harry Potter speaking with Dumbledore	The spoken words of the characteristics within the diegesis.
Sound bridge	Alarm clock playing from dream into a person waking up	It keeps a consistent sound as the film transitions from one spot to another.
Sound effects	Floorboards creaking in a horror movie	Integrates the audience into the movie and develops emotion with the connotation of the creaking sound.
Sound motif	Superman	Instruments play usually showing his arrival.
Sound perspective	Standing next to a semi-truck	The engine is loud so other noise such as a friend saying something to the main character may be faintly heard due to the distance difference between the truck next to the main character and the friend across the street.
Sound mixing	Fast and Furious	Scene mixes dialogue, sounds of the engine revving, and explosions all in one action scene.
Ambient sound	Distant Hum of traffic in a busy city scene	Recreates the natural noise of scene through a sense of realism.
Score	Star Wars theme	Designed to work in harmony with the film
Theme	Sponge Bob	Musical composition written for a specific film
Stings	Invincible Title Screen	Cutting to a title slide right before the title of the show is said within the show.
