SOUND-BRIDGE

SOUND-BRIDGES

When the scene begins with the carry-over sound from the previous scene before the new sound begins. Sound bridge helps create a smooth trasnition from one scene to another as the film would seem very disjointed if the sound changed every time the picture on the screen would change. Sound is said to be enhancing th econtinuity of the film.

PARALLEL AND CONTRAPUNTAL SOUND

Parallel sound- e.g. if we are looking at children playing in the park we automatically expect to hear happy voices and light hearted music

Contrapuntal sound - when we are watching the happy scenes in the park but hear a sinister sounding 'dur dur' theme which signals the arrival of a shark as seen in the films jaws, this is why it is known as contrapuntal sound because the sound in which we hear does not fit in with the images we see appear on screen.
