Sound
The soundtrack of a film is the responsibility of the dubbing editor. It is easily over looked when studying moving image texts but it is vitally important in creating the over all meaning. By blending a variety of types of sound the dubbing editor creates an illusion of three dimensional space.
The soundtrack can break down into four main constituents:
Dialogue: Is the words spoken by characters who appear on the screen.
Sound-Effects: Is non-verbal sounds which originate from the actions such as doors closing, fists hitting flesh etc.
Ambient Sounds: Sounds which form the background to a scene although we may not see it we just hear it for example a bird song in a country setting.
Non-Diegetic Sound: Sounds which do not appear when the on screen action is happening they are edited into the scene at a later date. The most common Non-Diegetic sound sounds are the music soundtrack or a voiced over commentary.
