- voices of characters
- sounds made by objects in the story
- music represented as coming from instruments in the story space ( source music)
At 0:0 A Diegetic sound is used. It is accompanied here by a voice over and a non-diegetic sound. I believe it was used here to bring the audience back into the drama and to focus on what was going on on-screen and not just on what was being said.
Non-Diegetic Sound: Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action:
- narrator's commentary
- sound effects which is added for the dramatic effect
- mood music
Non-Diegetic sound is used at 0:41. It is used along side the use of a voice over. This is very effective here as the narrative is speaking about how they never pass up celebrity guests, which means they must get rid of other normal guests, so the non-diegetic music played gives the audience a feel that there is a scheme being concocted here. The brass sound of the music gives us a sense that the scheme is also very sneaky.
Synchronous Sound: Sound that appears to be matched to certain movements occurring in the scene, as when footsteps correspond to feet walking.
At 1:42 a synchronous sound is used. I believe this was used here to just match everything up and to make sure the audience was aware of what was taking place.
Asynchronous Sound: Sounds which is indigenous to the action but not precisely synchronies with the action.
* I need an example *
Sound Effects: An imitative sound, as of thunder or an explosion, produced artificially for theatrical purposes, as for a film, play, or radio program. Often used in plural
At 0:00 you can hear the sound of the tardis travelling. This is sound effect is the sound the tardis makes when it's time travelling. Therefore it creates drama in the scene and the audience are made aware that there is going to be an adventure coming up in the following scenes.
Sound Motif: A sound effect, or combination of sound effects which are associated with a particular character, setting, situation, or ida through the film. The use of sound motif can help shape a story that requires many characters and many locations and help unify the film and sustain its narrative and thematic development.
At 8:37 a sound motif is used. It is used here to draw attention to the particular character. It creates a dramatic effect and lures the audience in. It captures the audiences' attention. Therefore the speech the character delivers gets the attention and importance it needs, whilst focusing it's power on the character to give him the respect and authority his character has.
Sound Bridge: Sound which is sustained from one scene into the next. A sound bridge is used to extend a piece of music on the soundtrack or a sound from the story world over an edit. A sound may begin within a particular scene but does not end when the next scene begins.
At 4:10 a sound bridge is used to show an alarm bell going off between the shot of the girl in the toilet and the people outside on the phone talking to her. This is used effectively here to link the two scenes together and helps maintain continuity. This would make the audience aware that the scenes are linked and are both happening at the same time.
Dialogue: Conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or movie.
At 0:07 the shot shows the dialogue between two characters. This draws the audience's attention to the characters speaking and therefore they're conversation is more poignant, and gets the importance as it is the conclusion of the episode.
Voiceover: A piece of narration in a movie or broadcast, not accompanied by an image of the speaker.
At 0:41 a voiceover sound is used. I believe it is used here to narrate the audience and inform them about what is to come. I believe this a lot more effective than the character just speaking to the camera, as this keeps the drama more realistic and less like just a tv show made for our pleasure.
Mode of Address/Direct Address: The use of a term or name for the person spoken to, as in securing the attention of that person; use of a vocative form.
* I need an example for this *
Sound Mixing: The process during the post-production stage of a film or a television program in which the collection of recorded sounds are combined into one or more channels along with adjusting the many attributes of the sounds such as the source signals’ level.
At 07:53 there is a lot of different sounds being mixed together, therefore we describe this as sound mixing. In this scene the effect sound mixing is used effectively as we hear the alien space ship sound, the alien's voice, the doctor's voice and sounds like the doctor putting on braces and the alien ship scanning things. With all this together we get a very wide range of sounds which indicates to the audience that this is building up to the climax and really draws them in.
Sound Perspective: A sound’s position in space as perceived by the viewer given by volume, timbre, and pitch.
* I don't properly understand what this means *
Sound Tracks:
Score: A film score is original music written specifically to accompany a film, forming part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects. The score comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question
Throughout this clip scoring is used. The music playing is dramatic and quick paced, so when accompanied with the voice overs and background noises, the scene becomes intense. As a trailer this draws in the audience and makes it very appealing. It is effective because as an audience this would be a series I definitely wouldn't want to miss.
Incidental Music: Music composed to accompany the action or dialogue of a drama or to fill intervals between scenes or acts.
At 0:38 incidental music is used to create a reflect scene as the fire brigade put out the flames of the disaster that has just happened. This gives not just the characters, but also the viewers to reflect on the damage that has just happened.
Themes and Stings: A sting is a short musical phrase, primarily used in television shows and films as a form of punctuation—for example at the end of a scene, or as a dramatic climax is imminent. It can be played on a variety of instruments and performed by a group or orchestral ensemble.
At 7:30 we see this being used here as the sound signifies the change in scene and characters. This accompanies a transition and allows the audience to know there is going to be a different scenario about to take place.
Ambient Sound: Ambient sound or ambient audio means the background sounds which are present in a scene or location. Common ambient sounds include wind, water, birds, crowds, office noises, traffic, etc. It performs a number of functions including:

- Providing audio continuity between shots
- Preventing an unnatural silence when no other sound is present
- Establishing or reinforcing the mood
At 11:12 we can hear the sound of birds in the little girl's back garden. This helps prevent an unnatural silence, but also due to the fact it's the only thing we hear, the audience is drawn to believe something is about to happen i.e the doctor appearing.
