This year I am tackling a completely new subject for me; film making.
This blog page will contain documentation of what I have learnt this term.

W H A T I S S O U N D D E S I G Ni n f i l m ? This term we are exploring and analysing film scenes. One element to this is the sounds used in film, what is their purpose and why are they there? Sound design is the art and practice of creating sound tracks for a variety of needs. It involves specifying, acquiring or creating auditory elements using audio production techniques and tools.

Diegetic Sound:Diegetic sound is the noise that would be present in the scene. For example the source of the sound is traditionally present on the scene, that the viewer can see.
For example:
Non-Diegetic SoundNon- Diegetic sound is therefore the opposite. These are sounds that us, the viewers, are privileged enough to be able to hear, that are not present in the scene. For Example:
This film is a great example to analyse when looking at diegetic and non-diegetic sound. It is an extremely dramatic thriller full of tension, which is further enhanced by Alfred Hitchcock's use of sound. In one scene where Janet Leighs character is driving towards the hotel in a rain storm, the rain is intense, heavy and loud against the windscreen. The use of diegetic sound here is foreshowing her miserable and dark murder, her facial expressions and the atmosphere in the scenes complaints this as if the character knows something bad is coming. That is why I believe Hitchcock choose to put diegetic sound here. An example of Non-Diegetic sound is when Marion, the main character, is driving away with the money she has stolen. The audience is very privileged in the fact that they can hear different voices, these could be interpreted in two ways; these are what Marion is imagining people saying about her or what they are actually saying in different points of time. - r e f e r e n c e s -[i] En.wikipedia.org. 2020.
