L03 - Use of Sound

Diegesis is the 'story world'/world of the narrative

How real the diegesis appears is linked to the level of 'Verisimillitude' (which means the appearance of being real)

Diegetic sound is sound that appears as though it id coming from within the story world of the dilm or TV programme.
- Dialogue
- Sound effects (Includes foley sound)

- These are added during production and post-production to create meaning, sound effects and dialogue in particular are planned carefully during pre-production.

Tone - loudness and pitch

Accent - Pronunciation

Dialect - A particular language

3 things to be responsible for making sound effects.
- Creaking door
- Sound of the sea
- Realistic sounds

Non-Diegetic sound is sound that is clearly not coming from within the story world.
- Incidental music
- Non-diegetic sound effects
these are added at the stage of post-production to create meaning for the audience.

Motif
