Preliminary Exercise: Introduction to Sound (Part 2)

 Everything you can hear while watching a movie is called sound. It enhances a movie by adding effect. In a film, you hear music, sound effects (SFX), and dialogue. Dialogue is a discussion between two or more persons that is the focus of a story, play, or film. It supports the film by helping in revealing a character by what they say and how they say it. Music is the combining of vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) in a way that results in aesthetic beauty, harmonies, and emotional expressiveness. It helps support the film by adding emotional reactions, gives scenes and segments a rhythm, and makes comments on the action. Sound effects are artificially created or enhanced sounds. They help support film by aiding in information delivery, boosts production value, elicits emotional reactions, highlights what's on the screen, and is utilized to convey mood. The two main types of sounds in film are diegetic; sound that a character/characters and the audience can hear; and non-diegetic; sound that does not have a source in the world of the film and the audience can only hear.
