Film language-sound

Today i learnt the fact that sound can be categorised into diferent types, such as the following;

On screen sound- This is when you can see the source in which the sound is coming out of.
Off screen sound- This is when we can hear the sound but cant see where its coming from.

Diegetic sound- Is a sound which is part of the film world we are watching e.g, Kettle whistling
Non Diegetic sound- Is a sound which we do not recognise as part of the film world such as; a voice over or background music.

Sound Bridges- This is when a piece of music whether its diegetic or not continues smoothly within one shot to the next.

Parallel and Contrapuntal Sound- Parallel sound is a sound that suits its image while on the other hand, Contrapuntal sounds deliberately contrasts its image.

After all these had been explained, we then had to use our own initiative and think of other examples for each of the sound types.
