On/off screen sound

on screen source can be seen in the screen, and off screen that happens off screen.

Direct sound

Sound recorded on location post filming - synchronised sound added after filming.

Contrapuntal sound

Sound that doesn't mirror what the audience is seeing on screen, it contrasts with the mood or tone of the scene.

Parallel sound 

Mirrors what is happening on screen, adding to the mood or tone of the scene.

Exaggerated/Pleonastic sound

Exaggerated sound to heighten the tone, mood, emotion or meaning in a scene.

Foley sound

Recorded sounds after, using different objects to make sound effects for something else.


Analysing

At the start of the scene there is a non-diegetic sound just to set up the scene, there is also dietetic sound like the chewing gum. When Baby puts the song on it acts as a rhythm for the audience to follow as he is flying around the place. The diegetic sounds are the tires screeching across the road, police cars and the helicopter blades, when the shot is from above the car.
