Sound

Sound

Diegetic refers to the world go the text
Examples: dialogue, sound effects, music with a source within the text e.g. a radio.

Non diegetic refers to everything outside the world of the text 
Examples: voiceover. soundtrack, captions, titles, subtitles.

On-screen-sound: The audience can see the source the sound.
Off-screen-sound: The audience can't see the source of the sound.


Its Diegetic because there is dialogue as well as some sound effects.Its also non diegetic because there is music in the background.  It is an on screen sound because we can see the source of the sound.

Parallel sound: Matches the action

Contrapuntal sound:Does not match the action- might foreshadow something bad may happen.

Sound bridge: Helps create a a smooth transition between from one scene to another.
The sound "bridges" the 2 scenes.



This uses parallel sound and so conveys something bad is bat to happen and we have a bad feeling about it as it is intense music.

  1. You've included all of the key terminology, which is great! I like your 'Prison Break' clip.

    For revision, please find a clip that includes parallel and contrapuntal sounds. You can use the clip we explored in class from 'Jaws' or find another clip. Refer to your definitions so that you are fully confident with the terms.
