Direct Sound - This is live sound, which has a sense of freshness, spontaneity and authentic atmosphere however it may not be acoustically ideal. We need to take into account any unwanted direct sound that we get on our recordings and when filming we may have to pause and wait till the unwanted sound has gone for example the sound of birds when there is dialog although the more realistic the sounds around are the more realistic our opening will appear to be. This will be helpful when setting the surrounding scene for example although we need to be certain that there is continuity within the direct sounds.
Selective Sound - Is the removal of some sounds in order to make significant sounds more recognisable or dramatic. This is helpful when creating an atmosphere and making it meaningful and emotional. It will be useful to consider how we could use this within our opening.
Sound Bridge - Adding to continuity through sound, by running sound (narration, dialogue or music) from one shot across a cut to another shot to make the action seem uninterrupted. We could use a sound bridge within our opening to add continuity, this would make it flow better.
Sound Effects - Is any sound from any source which is not dialogue, narration or music. Sound effects may add to the illusion of reality and help keep the situations as realistic as possible to the audience.
Music - Music helps establish a sense of the pace of the next scene. Music rhythm usually dictates the cut rhythm, it also helps to set the mood. Background music is music which accompanies a film and it is not normally meant to be to over powering or noticeable. Also the use of repetition can link shots and scenes. Through repetition it can also link shots, scenes and sequences. It's key that we choose the perfect music for our opening as it dictates a lot of the mood and pace throughout.
