Diegetic Sound is sound which
actually exists within the story world (Diegesis). (Correct, but also
diegetic sound can be heard by both the audience and the characters.) For example the roar of King Kong when he is first revealed,
in this example it will have been put in the film in post-production but often
the sound is made during the production stage. (dialogue
is also included in Diegetic sound, find significant dialogue to analyse for
their chosen film.)
Dialogue is used in
pre-production, production and post-production. In pre it is used in the
scripts, in production it is said in the scenes and in post it is manipulated
or in animated films as they are not created in real life, they have to be added
in when the animation is completed.
Non-Diegetic sound is sound which
does not exist in the story world,
such as the Jurassic Park theme tune throughout the film. This is done in
post-production. (only the audience can hear
it.) also incidental music is music that is there to create emotions (tempo and
pitch) and is generally a melody (doesn’t have lyrics). Not natural sound at
all. Non-Diegetic sound appears in production as they need to record the
sounds, they also need to plan it in pre-production and it is added in post-production.
Denotation is what something is, e.g.
“the curtains were blue”. Connotation is what something represents, e.g. “the
curtains represented his sea of emotions”. (Correct).
Connotation also depends on what context it is in, such as the genres and
characters. For example white does not always mean purity it can mean emptiness
etc.
Laura Mulvey spoke about ‘The Male
Gaze’ which is how television/ films are made to appeal to men. In horror
films, women are often represented as dumb with little clothing. (In order to appeal to a male audience. A recent example
would be James Bond films using women to be seduced by Bond and Megan Fox in
transformers. Women can also use this to their advantage.)
