Sound Editor: This is when sound is filmed either on set or in a Foley room. This is created in production.

Sound Mixer: This is when sound in the film is enhanced and edited in a way to dramatize a scene. This is created in post production in an editing software.

Sound Editor: Creating and recording sounds (pre-production).

Sound Mixer: Controls the volume and tone of sound picked up by microphones in order to obtain the desired effects for recording.

Sound editing is the job which involves moving a project’s audio from the production to post-production stage. The main difference between sound editing vs. sound mixing is that editing focuses on the production, while mixing takes the edited product and hones it during post-production.

An example of a Diegetic sound within the Shaun of the Dead clip is the sound of the objects being thrown at the zombies.

An example of a Non-Diegetic sound is the sound effect heard when a cut in footage happens.

A needle drop is when music that wasn’t recorded for a movie is added into a movie. It may be used to set the tone of a scene or to contrast it.

Some examples of a Foley artists work on a film soundtrack include the sounds of birds or waves.

Another movie that uses a leitmotif is from the movie “Jaws” when the shark bites someone.

Another film that uses narration is Blade Runner, the narration in the movie was added in post as the studio believed the movie was to confusing for the audience to understand.

My favourite film soundtrack is The Dark Knight, this is because of the leitmotif they gave the main character of Batman.

Sound editing and sound mixing are two different but related processes. Sound editing is the process of manipulating recordings to make them more suitable for a film or TV show, while sound mixing is the process of putting together all of those edited sounds into one cohesive audio track.

Match on action: a transition that uses the action from one scene in the transition to the next scene.

Graphic match: links 2 scenes through the use of similar elements (such as colour etc)

Eyeline match: When the point of view of one or more characters is cut and matched with what they are looking at.
