Sound - is one of the four areas of film-making we are covering.
Mainly, all sound in films can be divided into two large groups: diegetic and non-diegetic sound.
Diegetic sound(or actual sound, "diegesis" = 'recounted story' in Greek) - is the one whose source is visible on the screen or is implied to be presented by the plot of the film. Examples are: voices of characters(dialog), music or sounds coming from things like radio, phone, e.t.c, sounds made by objects like birds singing, wind or rain.
Diegetic sound can be either on screen or off screen depending on whatever its source is seen within the frame our outside the frame.
diegetic sound examples:
Non-diegetic sound - is the one coming from outside of the world of the film. The difference between the diegetic and non-diegetic may not be clear and depends on our understanding of conventions of the film. Usually, the audience understands, what sounds are coming from the 'inside' - so they are happening in the world of the film, and which are added on top to emphasise action or horror moments.
