Sound

Non-Diegetic
-Title music: theme tunes (connote genre/represent TV drama).
-Score/incidental music: orchestral music used to connote tone/atmosphere.
-Sound motifs: sounds associated with certain characters (often a villain like the shark in Jaws) that connote something good/bad is about to happen.
-Sound effects: used to connote atmosphere.
-Voice over: often used to give the viewer an isight into the thoughts of the character (creating a bond between the audience and character), set the scene or progress the narrative.

Diegetic
-Synchronous sound: sound that match what you see on screen.
-Sound effects: realistic sounds that match the action on screen creating realism and/or connoting atmosphere e.g gun shots, door opening/ closing.
-Dialogue: characters speaking (dialogue progresses the narrative and reveals the character's personality/ views to the viewer).
-Ambient sound: natural background noise you would hear if the scene on screen were real - this is vital when creating realism.
