diegesis is the narrative construct that everything takes place in, it is the 'story world/the world that the film or tv programme takes place in'
How real the diegesis appears is linked to the level of verisimillitude (appearance of being real).
Diegetic sounds are from noises that are happening from within the diegesis (story world). These are added during production and post preduction to create meaning.

Synchronous sounds are sounds which are syncronized or matched with what is viewed - this is a diegetic sound. This can be used for simple examples such as footsteps or movement. Another example ; when charcaters play instruments the sound, in most cases is added in pre production as part of synchronous sound - this contributes to the realism of the film and also help to create a particular atmosphere.
Ambient sound refers to any sound which is used to establish a location.
Non- diegetic sound is when the source is not visible on the screen and clearly not coming from the story world. Examples are a narrator's commentry and sound effects used for dramatic effect. These are added in post production.
Sound bridge- lead in or out of a sceme . Sound bridges are one of the most common transition in the continuity editing style. Sound bridges can be both non diegetic and diegetic. They can start as non-diegetic and then bridge to a scene where the music has a visible source.
Incidental music- music composed in a film or play as a background to create or enhance a particular atmosphere. The incidental music is composed to accompany the action of a drama or to fill intervals between scenes.Gives hints as to what might happen next, generally used in horrors and dramas to build tension.
An example of incidental music
Stings are used as distincitive background music to add emphasis to an important moment in a motion picture or television program. A sting can be used to introduce a section of a show, or indicate the end of a scene
Motifs- the sound motifs condition the audience emotionally for the arrival, or actions of a characters. The use of sound motif can help shape a story that requires many characters and many locations as it helps to sustain the narrative as they help clarify the narrative functions of the characters and provide a sound association for those charcaters as we move through the story.
