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.
