The document discusses different types of sounds that can be used in films including rhythm, fidelity, lack of fidelity, parallel sound, contrapuntal sound, synchronous sound, asynchronous sound, digetic sound, non-digetic sound, volume, pitch, timber, tempo, and sound bridges. Rhythm provides a beat or pulse that sets the pace, while fidelity means the sound matches what is expected from the visual. Asynchronous sound is when images and sounds are out of sync, and sound bridges sync two sounds together using asynchronous sound.

1. Types of
Sound

2. Types
1)Rhythm: A beat or a pulse. It sets the pace for the scene and gives importance to dialogues .The same sound
repeats over and over again.
2)Fidelity: The sound is true to the source for example we hear what we are expecting to hear.
3)Lack of fidelity: When there is a disparity between an image and the sound. The viewer is taken out of the
scene.
4) Parallel sound: When sound we hear goes hand in hand with the images on the screen.
5) Contrapuntal sound: It is when we hear sounds that wouldn't associate with events on screen.
6) Synchronous sound: Matching the sound with images on the screen.
7) Asynchronous sound: When images and sound are out of sync.
8) Digetic sound: Sounds which can also be heard by actors.
9) Non-Digetic sound: Sounds that come from outside the narrative space i.e. sounds that cannot be heard by
actors.
10) Volume: Refers to loudness of sounds.
11) Pitch: High pitch means shrieking sound and low pitch is heavy sound.
12) Timber: Quality of sound.
13) Tempo: Speed of sound.
14) Sound bridge: Syncing two sounds together. Created by an Asynchronous sound.
