Sound
diegetic/ non diegetic
diegetic refers to the world of the text,
- Examples: dialogue, sound effects, music with a source within the text e.g a radio.
- Examples: voiceovers, soundtracks, captions, titles and subtitles.
On-screen sound -
- the audience can see the source of sound.
Off-screen sound -
- the audience can't see the source of sound.
parallel sounds and contrapuntal,
- parallel sound matches the action,
- Contrapuntal sound does not match the action,
The moment the music starts the action gets a lot more intense and dramatic. The crosscutting to a calm atmosphere creates a contradicting effect, during the first attack we can hear the music of jaws. This signals that something bad and or scary will happen.
The Sound bridge helps to create a smooth transition between one scene to the other. The sound 'bridges' the two scenes.
In this scene he starts to remember a police scene that merges into the scene making it into the sound bridge of 2 scenes.
You've picked a great example when analysing diegetic/non-diegetic sounds however you seem to have just listed them. Please go back through the sequence you've embedded and pinpoint what are the diegetic sounds and what are the non-diegetic sounds.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, you need to identify the parallel/contrapuntal sounds within the 'Jaws' clip please.
Ensure that these changes are made by Monday 3rd of December.
