Sound in Film This is divided into two forms for film: Diegetic Non Diegetic 6. DIEGETIC SOUND Sounds that can be heard in the diegesis (the world) of the film. Dialogue, explosions, music on a car radio etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH-r4HXHcCk&feature=relmfu Ten minutes describe the various diegetic sounds used within the scene Sound within this category can not be added, it is worth noting however that eve if the sound was created in post production like a gun shot if it belongs in the world of the movie then it remains diegetic sound. 7. NON-DIEGETIC SOUND Sounds that are outside the diegesis (the world) of the film. Soundtrack, External voiceover Many films will use narrators like Stand By Me or the Shawshank Redemption http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1Lic4ueSmY&feature=rel mfu Ten minutes identify the use of non-diegetic sound. 8.

Genre the type of music can help to identify the genre of the film, can you give an example. Setting The style of music or ambiance can suggest the place. Westerns the use of emptiness wind for the tumbleweeds etc. Narrative the story and event being shown, it can often create atmosphere and tension. 12.
