2. VOICE OVER:
A type of non-diegetic, asynchronous
sound in which the audience hear a voice
that does not have a source either within
the frame or within hearing distance, and
which is not heard by the people on
screen. Voice overs allow us to see things
from a particular character’s point of view
3. (also known as off-camera or
off-stage commentary) is a production
technique where a voice—that is not part
of the narrative (non-diegetic)—is used in a
radio, television production, filmmaking,
theatre, or other presentations. It is prerecorded and placed over the top of a film
or video and commonly used in
documentaries or news reports to explain
information.

4. are sometimes used to create
ironic counterpoint. Also, sometimes they
can be random voices not directly
connected to the people seen on the
screen.
In works of fiction, the voice-over is often
by a character reflecting back on his or her
past, or by a person external to the story
who usually has a more complete
knowledge of the events in the film than
the other characters.
