Sound In Film

In a movie, there are three basic types of sound, the dialogue, the synchronous and asynchronous sound effects, and the music in the background. The dialogue in a film can be one of the most important aspects of its sound design. Dialogue is the words spoken by the characters to push the story along, so if the viewer can hear it, they might not understand whats happening on screen. Dialogue can also change around the mood of the scene with different tones, like a villain using a raspy voice. When implementing sound effects into a film, there are two types that sound designers use, those being synchronous and asynchronous sounds. Synchronous sound effects are sounds that correspond with the visuals on screen, while asynchronous sounds are not matched with things on screen. The music in the background of movies also helps to determine a tone for the film. Without these sounds, a movie wouldn't work right.
