    Diegetic sounds originate from within the story world of the film, such as voices of characters or music from instruments on screen. Non-diegetic sounds come from sources outside the story and are not visible or implied to be present, like narration, sound effects, or score music. Sound effects are artificial sounds added to films to represent actions or make them seem more realistic, and can be either diegetic or non-diegetic. A sound motif is a short musical theme representing a character. A sound bridge uses overlapping music to transition between scenes or locations.

    SOUND IN FILM

    Written by SOL filmproduction

    Diegetic Sound
    Sound that is in the reality of the film.

    Sound that you expect to be there.


    Sound that has its source in the film:

    - Voices of characters - Sounds made by objects in the story - Music that is represented as coming from instruments in the story (source music) Diegetic sound can be either on screen or off screen depending on whatever its source is within the frame or outside the frame.

    Non-diegetic sound
    Sound that has its source not in the story
    Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor

    has been implied to be present in the action: - Voice over (narrator) - Sound effects which are added for the dramatic effect - Score music

    Sound effects
    An imitative sound produced artificially for films

    the camera and addresses the audience directly. It removes the need for a narrator.
