'''Noise''', also known as '''Static''' is a video and audio distortion technique that involves 'fuzzing' of the footage.

~~=Video Noise=~~

[[File:Tv static.png|thumb|KZZZZKZKZKZKZKZZZZTTTTTTT]]

Video noise, also known as '''static''', '''fuzz''', and many other terms is when electricity or other sources are, in some way, is interfering with the video output - causing random pixels to appear in place of the intended footage. This can be easily replicated with a random generator to create the illusion of a bad signal.

~~=Audio Noise=~~

This is often seen in [[analog distortion]] effects and re-creations.

~~Audio noise~~ often ~~comes~~ in ~~many different "colors" based on how it sounds~~. ~~These are:~~

* White

=Types of Noise=

* Purple

There are five major types of noise.

* Red (Brownian)

* Pink

* Grey

=Usage=

==Digitally==

The process of adding noise to audio or video are practically identical; most of the time, you simply need to apply an effect that adds it in for you.

===Video Effects===

* Noise HSL and its variants in [[Premiere Pro]] and [[After Effects]]

* Add Noise and Film Grain in [[Vegas]].

==Via Analog Distortion==

Adding static to an analog signal is as simple as messing with the signal itself - putting things in the way, magnets, moving it too far away/weakening the signal, etc.
