Sound

Sound
Key words:digetic - sound that is part of the internal world of the text and can be heard by the characters e.g. dialogue
non-digetic - sound that only the audience can hear e.g. atmospheric music or a voiceover
dialogue - conversation between characters
sound bridge - when sound from the previous scene carries on to the begining of the next scene
synchronous - Sound that appears to be matched to certain movements occurring in the scene, e.g when footsteps correspond to feet walking.
mode of address - the way in which the media text 'speaks' to its audience

Sound is anything that you hear in a media text. When analysing sound, you must consider both what the characters hear (digetic sound) and what the characters can't hear, but the audience can hear (non-digetic sound). This includes speech, sound effects and music.
