    I hope Im in the right place for this:

    I've an essay due on film production, but unfortunately I've lost one set of notes. I'm not really in a position to ask any mates at the mo - as lots wont be in today, so I hop ye can help!

    Anyway, can anybody tell me the name given to the style of camera shooting when the cameraman appears to be a member of the scene - yknow you see the scene through 'the eyes' of a character e.g. Peep Show / The new UK army ads. I was told it was something, but upon googling it... well, lets just say it wasn't something for the feint hearted...:o

    And secondly, what are sounds that are added to the scene known as. Such as sound effects or dubbed voices. I know its *something* sounds, but for the life of me I can't remember.

    Thanks in advance,
    (hope the mods don't mind, either)

    This is known as POV or Point Of View, and yes....Google will through up some unsuitable links if you search for that :D

    Diegetic sounds are sounds in a scene where the viewer can identify their source while non diegetic sounds are sounds with no source in the films narrative.

    for example music coming from a jukebox in a bar scene is a diegetic sound while the ott orchestrial track that plays in every micheal bay music when someone starts running (applies to Doctor Who aswell) is a non diegetic sound.
    what are sounds that are added to the scene known as. Such as sound effects or dubbed voices.

    as someone said already post production sound effects are known as Foley while post production dubbing is known as ADR.

    Anyway, can anybody tell me the name given to the style of camera shooting when the cameraman appears to be a member of the scene - yknow you see the scene through 'the eyes' of a character e.g. Peep Show / The new UK army ads.

    I think POV shot is correct, but I could be wrong, there is a term to describe a whole narrative that takes place from a pov shot but for the life of me I cannot remember it.

    but the porn film equivilent (dont ask me how I know) is known as Gonzo style. But I dont think that extends to other film types.

    but for extra brownie points it might be worth mentioning :D

    EDIT: according to wiki (not the most reliable source) its called *leading man POV* if the whole film is shot in that style: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_view_shot

    but no references
