Sound

Sound

There are two types of sound used in films, diegetic and non-diegetic.

Diegetic:

This is sound which is picked up during filming and then used, e.g:

-Talking form characters.

-Noise form objects.

-Music (noise from instruments there).

-Background noise.

It is actual sound which has been filmed on location and can be either on screen or off screen.

Non-diegetic:

sound is sound which has been added to the clip during editing to exaggerate a sound or to add a new sound completely, e.g:

-Narration over a clip.

-Sound effects such as explosions

-Soundtracks.

These must be edited well however to create the illusion that the sound was made by the action happening.
