Sound.

Diegetic sound - Any sound that is included in the action that the characters can hear
Non-diegetic sound - Any sound that has no source in the scene e.g. the soundtrack
Mood music - Music used to enhance the atmosphere or setting of a moving-image text
Selective sound - The getting rid of some sounds and keeping others to make significant sounds easier for the audience to hear/ for dramatic effect e.g. exaggerated footsteps
Sound perspective/aural perspective - The impression of distance in sound e.g. muffled talking
Sound bridge - Adding to continuity through sound by running sound from one shot to another to make action seem uniterrupted
Asynchronous sound - Where the sound is seperate from action and added later
Synchronous sound - Where the sound matches the action
Silence - is used to let audience reflect on action/story, draw attention to visual action, make the audience apprehensive

The soundtrack of TV drama is very important. The opening sequence and the music is thought to be more important than the content because the music is recognisable and identified with the TV drama this will draw the audiences' attention.
