Extraneous Dialogue
Display TextExtraneous Dialogue
Description"Extraneous Dialogue" is additional dialogue information in an audio track that does not match with the visuals and context on screen. This may be a wild track line, a duplication of another line in program, or temporary dialogue that has been left in the final mix.
ImpactExtraneous dialogue is distracting to the member experience if there is dialogue unrelated to/ inconsistent with on-screen action. At worst, it can obscure plot-pertinent details.
