Sound Effects

Or SFX

Sound effects add depth and realism to the audio. Editors carefully select and integrate appropriate sound effects to match the actions and events on the screen, creating a seamless audio environment.

• *Function: When a sound doesn’t fall into the background or ambiance category, it is simply a sound effect. 
• *Visibility: A specific sound, associated with a specific on-screen action.
• *Examples: Distant car bys, Copy machine in the distance (moving and lighting up on screen), Phone ringing just before an actor in the distance answers
