Post production sound id the sound that is added to the film after it has been created.
Parallel sound - this is when the music and sounds you hear match what you can see on the screen, it is what you expect.
Contrapuntal sound - this is when the music and sounds oppose what we see on the screen, this is unexpected and shocking.
Sound bridge - a sound bridge is when a piece of music/a sound carries on from one scene to another and links the scenes together.
Ambient sound - this is sound that you expect to hear from a certain location for example traffic, the beeping of horns etc.
Foley sound - everyday sounds that are added to a clip foe example bird noises or extra emphasized punch noises during a fight scene.
We analysed this film, the sounds in the film and how it created tension.
Parallel sound is used throughout the clip we saw, the sound fitted in with the clip and what we expected, the noises coming from cars and the engines being revved. The up beat and fast pace music added to the tension and would put the audience on the edge of their seats. Although because of the lack of sound at some points during the clip contrapuntal sound was used - the sirens from the police cars were cut out at some point to show they are not important and they are inferior to the other characters. This is to also show that they have lost their control. Ambient sound was also used when you could hear the tires screeching when they drove around the corners, this emphasizes the dramatic effect that it has, the noises were loud and obvious, this created tension. Also the skidding around the corners again showed the lack of control. Foley sound was also added, when they were driving, when the characters changed gear it was not natural and was made more obvious to add effect and to show emphasis on the speed, again showing the lack of control. A sound bridge is also used, the sound of the helicopter. You could hear the helicopter in the background when you couldn't even see it and then could still hear it when it was shown (carrying it on from scene to scene), this shows their superiority and their importance, it shows how serious it is and highlight the drama and the tension.

What is contrapuntal sound? What is the function of a sound bridge? Maybe putting the clip up with a closer piece of analysis will allow me to comment further. I do not think you fully understand the terms, definitions and effects.
