section 3- unit 1- Sound

Sound


Different Areas Of Sound Theory


Rhythm- Music,speech,sound effects


Fidelity- Fidelity refers to the extent to which the sound is faithful to the source as we, the audience conceive it. If a film shows us a barking dog and we hear a barking noise, that sound is faithful to its source; the sound maintains fidelity. But if the picture of the barking dog is accompanied by the sound of a cat meowing, there enters a disparity between sound and image - a lack of fidelity.  



Parallel Contrapuntal- When the sound we hear should usually go hand in hand with the image on screen. This is known as Parallel sound. For example if we were to watch a horror film and we are about to witness a murder, you would accompany some dark, fast tempo music with the action. When we hear sound that we wouldn't associate with the events on screen we would call this contrapuntal sound. For example if we were to be watching children playing on the beach we wouldn't usually here the fast pacing music to accompany it as the two styles do not go together.


Time- Synchronous and Asynchronous sounds



Diegetic and Non-Diegetic sounds
