Post 20 - Sound (In relation to media lanaguage)

Sound is a key aspect of film. Without sound films would not be the same.
There are two main types of sound, they are diegetic and non-diegetic.
Click here for more information on both diegetic and non-diegetic sound

Diegetic - sound that has an onscreen source and can be heard by both the people on screen and the watching people off screen.
Examples of diegetic sound can be dialogue and sound effects.

Non-diegetic - sound that does not have an onscreen source and can only be heard by the watching people off screen. The characters in the film cannot hear this type of sound.
Examples of non-diegetic sound can be soundtracks and voice-overs.
