Synchronous Sound - sound that matches to what we see. For example, if we see someone is playing the guitar we can hear the guitar's sound.

Asynchronous Sound - the opposite to synchronous sound. We can hear the sound but we can't see its source. For example, we can hear someone's scream but we can't see the person who screamed.

Empathetic Sound - it is the sound which mood matches to the mood of the scene we see. For example, happy song during an optimistic scene.

Anempathetic Sound - the opposite of empathetic sound. For example, if a character dies and the radio continue to play a happy tune.

Room  Tone/ Wild Track - the sound matches to the video but was recorded separately (background).

Foley - live recording of sound effects. For example, the sound of a shaked pack of crisps sounds like a fairy's wings. 


Lyrical Content - lyrics of the song matches to the scene.


Tempo - the speed of a given musical piece.
