White noise - Static
Brown noise - lower frequency }These are both noises that you hear most days but wouldn't specifically notice.
Layering of sounds that you make in Foley merged together create realistic specific sound effects.
On screen sound
Off screen sound
Non diagetic sound - Not specifically related to surrounds, whats on screen but would create emotions in the audience hearing the sound.
You can destroy the illusion of being in the world of the film by over egging the sound. If the audience hears the sound behind them and they turn and see more of the audience and the exit sign behind them then it takes them out of the experience. It kills the illusion. If the sound appeared at the side of the screen it would create a better illusion.
Sound needs a bit of ambience (brown noise) to make it sound 'normal'. Gives a situation atmosphere. Without it everything sounds clinical/alien.
