Audio - Non Diegetic/ Diegetic

Sound, voice and music are integral to most films and/or film viewing experiences.

Even the earliest silent films were often shown with live musical accompaniment.

Sound enhances the imaginary world, it can provide depth, establish character and environment, introduce a new scene or cue the viewer to important information.

We have organized the page according to the following categories: sound source, sound editing and film music.
