Diegetic Sounds and Non-Diegetic Sounds

Sound is important in creatin meaning for the audience, because it can make the illusion of films stronger, it can also enchance emotions and connote what is going on in the film.

Diegesis is the narrative construct that everthing takes place in, it is the "storyworld/the world that the film/TV programme takes place in".

How real the diegesis appears is linked to the level of "verisimilitude" (which means the apperannce of being real).

Synchronous Sounds:
Synchoronous sounds are sounds which are synchronized or matched with what is being seen.
This is diegetic sound.
This can be used for simple examples such as footsteps or movement. Another example: when characters play instruments the sound, in most cases, is added in post-production as part of a sychronous sound.
This contribuyes to the realism of the film and also help to create a pratiicular atmosphere. An example could be the exaggeration of the sound of a door clickuing open could connote an ominouise action such as burglary.
