1. One example of non-diegetic sound from Buffy episode is at 14:00 when people sleep and their “voices” are all absorbed by the box of the monster. During this part, there is a very strange and scary background music, which increases the dramatic effect to the movie and creates horror to the audience. It is an example of non-diegetic sound because it is a sound effect which is added to the movie and the sound source is invisible in this clip. It is a source outside of the story and it also enhance the horror effect of the entire clip, which make audience to hold the breath and wait to see what happen next. Thus, it is a perfect example of this respective film principle. In addition, this example does increase the aesthetic of horror for the video, since the sound ends up when the monster comes out, which brings the whole story to another climax.
  2. One example of diegetic sound from Buffy episode is at 40:45 when the girl gets her voice back and screams very loud and long. During this part, the girl’s voice break up all the monsters and just like a voice of victory. This is an example of diegetic sound, because it is the voice of the character herself and the sound source can be seen on the screen. It is an actual sound that produced by the girl.  This sound has been lost in the clip for the majority of time and when it comes back, it definitely increases the aesthetic of horror in this video. Imaging that, human voice is totally lost in the clip and has been quiet for a long time except for the scary background sound. Once the real sound comes back, it enhances the dramatic effects of the entire episode.
  3. One example of the mise-en-scene is at 24:10 when the white monster pass by the window of the girl’s house. The girl almost screams out but there is no voice since she lost it. This is an example of the mise-en-scene, because it contains the major parts of mise en scene, such as color, lighting, actor’s performance and framing of the camera’s position. It is night time and the light is very dim, which enhance the horror effects. It also choose a close look of the white monster when he passes by the window, his strange smile and the certain camera angle give the audience a feeling of entire scary. In addition, the actress performance also enhance the dramatic effects. She suddenly falls back, which also draw the attention of the audience and surprise people.
