• Digetic sound - a noise which has a source on-screen. They are noises which have not been edited in, for example dialogue between characters or footsteps. Another term for digetic sound is actual sound.
• Non- Digetic sound - a noise which does not have a source on-screen, they have been added in. For example, music, voiceover, sound effects. Non-digetic sounds are often used to add drama to moments that would have been silent without it.

Digetic sounds:

• Stone crumbling
• Dialogue
• The wind
• Explosion
• Clatter of an object hitting the ground

Non-Digetic sounds:

Foley:

•  Foley is the reproduction of everyday sounds to use in filming.
• These reproduced sounds can be anything from the swishing of clothing to footsteps to squeaky doors and broken glass.
• It helps to create a sense of reality within the scene. Without these crucial background noises, movies feel unnaturally quiet and uncomfortable.
