There are two types of sound, diegetic sounds and non-diegetic sounds. Diegetic sounds are sounds which are part of the film such as dialogue or a door slamming. A non-diegetic sound is not part of the film such as background music or a voiceover.
There are also two sections that we put sound into which is parallel sound and contrapuntal sound. Parallel is a sound that works with what is being shown to us and matches the mood that the image is giving us. A contrapuntal sound is where the sound is the opposite of what we are being shown, for example if we were watching someone happily swimming and then horror music began to play.
