Sound is constantly being used in films, sound can be used in a variety of ways, like for example can be used to try and change the mood of the film, it can be used to represent characters and themes of the films.
Sound can be split up into different parts, for example:
Diegetic sounds: refers to the world of the text. Examples could be that of dialogue, sound effects, music with a source within the text e.g. a radio.
Non-Diegetic sounds: refers to everything outside the world of the text. Examples that could be of voiceovers and soundtrack.
On screen sound: the audience can see the source of the sound.
Off screen sound: the audience can't see the source of the sound.
Sound can also be furthered into parallel sounds and contrapuntal sounds, parallel meaning that the sounds match the action where as contrapuntal sounds do not.
Furthermore sound bridges can be used to help create a smooth transition from one scene to another.
