Types of Sound

Sound Bites- A sound bite is a short segment of a longer interview or speech that is inserted into a video program or news package.



Stand Ups- A standup is when a television reporter appears in front of the camera to narrate part of a story – most often at the beginning to set up the story, or at the very end.
Often the standups and voice-overs are read from a script the reporter has prepared beforehand.


Narration- a recital of events, usually in chronological order, presented to both listeners and readers in either writing or a drama.



Natural Sound- Natural sound (nat sound), or ambience, occurs in the background as a scene is being recorded. The sound of two voices, joined together in conversation, is registered as foreground sound. The sound of a car driving by is a background sound. When a camera operator records B-Roll, it is common practice to record audio that is simultaneously occurring in the background. You can use Nat sound in both audio and video productions to help establish a sense of place.



Foley- Foley effects are everyday sound effects added to the film during post production (after the shooting stops). They include sounds such as footsteps, clothes rustling, crockery clinking, paper folding, doors opening and slamming, punches hitting, glass breaking, etc. etc. In other words, they are used to enhance the audio quality and realism.
