How to write about sound

  • Acousmatic sound - sound one hears without seeing their originating cause
  • AcousmĂȘtre - a kind of invisible voice-character with mysterious powers
  • Added Value - the expressive and/or informative value with which a sound enriches a image
  • Audiovisual Contract - an agreement to forget that sound is coming from loudspeakers and picture from screen
  • Anempathetic Sound - music or sound effects that seems to exhibit conspicuous indifference to what is going on in the film's plot
  • Chronography - the stabilization of projection speed made cinema an art of time
  • Empathetic Sound - music or sound effects whose mood matches the mood of the action
  • Extension(of Sound Space)
  • External logic - the logic by which the flow of sound includes effects of discontinuity as non-diegetic interventions
  • Internal logic - the logic by which the sound flow is apparently born out of the narrative situation itself
  • Magnetization (spatial) - "mental pan" of the sound source
  • Materializing Sound Indices (M. S. I.) - sonic details that "materialize" the sound source
  • Rendering - the use of sounds to convey the feelings or effects associated with the situation on screen
  • Synchresis - the mental fusion between a sound and a visual when these occur at exactly the same time
  • Temporalization - influence of sound on the perception of time in the image
  • Vococentrism - the privilege of the voice in audiovisual media
