Sound Research


Before shooting it is important to be aware of sound and how to go about adding it in to our opening correctly. For this reason it is key that we understand synchronous and asynchronous sound.

Synchronous sound is when the image on screen corresponds with the sound that the audience can hear. This can be anything from speech to an action that happens on screen.

Asynchronous sound is when the sound does not correspond with what we see on screen. This can have various effects but is particularly effective in thrillers as a director can create tension or mystery by using a sound and not showing its source.

We will include both of these types of sound in our own opening.
