Sound Effects: used to connote atmosphere.
Voice Over: often used to give the viewer an insight into the thoughts of a character (creating a bond between the audience and character), set the scene or progress the narrative.

Synchronous Sound: sounds that match what you see on screen.
Sound Effects realistic sounds that match the action on the screen creating realism and/or connoting atmosphere e.g. gun shots, door opening/closing.
Dialogue: characters speaking (dialogue progresses the narrative and reveals the characters personality/views to the viewer).
Ambient Sound: natural background noise you would hear if the scene on the screen were real this is vital when creating realism.
