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.

If film makers want the audience to feel anxiety and suspense, the editing will be quick- the scenes/shots changing frequently. If a relaxed mood is desired,the scenes lasts longer and changes less frequently. For example in a romantic comedy.  Nevertheless a film need not have any editing. Russian ark was filmed in one take using a steadicam and a digital camera.   This required split-second timing and organisation. Scenes at the beginning of a film- as it begins to tell its story- must be long enough for us to be able to understand where we are and what is going on. It is also slow to introduce the main character(s). As the film progress...
