Sound Within the Film

Sound Within a film is very important because without it, the experience of film would be very different and it would make film and TV series very boring and unrealistic. There are different types of sound that makes a film more real and believable.

On-Screen Sound
On-screen sound is when you can see the source or the cause of the sound on the screen. An example of this would be someone Diagloue appeared and you can see them.

Off-Screen Sound
Off-screen sound is the opposite of on-screen sound, it's when you can hear a sound but cannot see the cause of the sound. For example, when police sirens go off in the background to indicate police are coming or going past.

Diegectic Sound
Diegetic sound is the sounds that are created in the film world and that the actors can hear on the set, for example, a fire engine.

Non-Diegectic Sound
This is again the opposite of diegetic sound. it is the sound that the actors cannot hear on the set. for example, the sound tracks and narrations can only be heard by the audience.
