Diegetic-Non-Diegetic (0:24)

My project was an experiment on diegetic and non diegetic sounds. It's when the video plays sounds that are coming from a film set and sounds that are coming from editing. For example, in the scene when the main character starts to run, there was music playing. That is a "Non-Diegetic" sound.

​

Throughout this project, I had to think of good sounds that can come out from the film set. I got an idea of water coming out of a sink. I collaborated with my classmate who was thinking of non-diegetic sounds to add in the video.

​

Non-Diegetic sounds are very good for imagining of a scene and its action. You would always wonder what kind of music or theme would suit the scene and its action. Diegetic sounds are very good for its realism in the scene. It's very rare to hear some real sounds from the settings of scenes, but sometimes it gives a feeling for audiences that they're also in the scene and they can feel everything from there.
