A sound bridge is used to connect two scenes by sound.

• A. To replace dialogue with music.
• B. To extend the length of a single shot.
• C. To link scenes through sound.
• D. To provide an abrupt audio cut.

Answer: (C)

Sound bridges link scenes through sound by carrying audio from one moment into the next, creating a seamless transition between actions or places. This technique helps maintain flow, pace, and continuity, guiding the audience’s sense of space and time even as the visuals change. In the given options, the idea that the sound connects two scenes through audio best captures how a sound bridge works—overlapping dialogue, ambient noise, or music from the following scene can carry into the cut or begin before the visual change to smooth the shift. Replacing dialogue with music describes a stylistic choice rather than the linking function; extending the length of a single shot concerns shot duration rather than bridging across scenes; and an abrupt audio cut would break continuity rather than create a connection.
