Non-Diagetic
This particular sound is one that is a music that is used in the background of a video. It can often add more dramatic effect to the particular scene that it might be playing towards, like in the beginning of the video when a vampire comes into play. They play the non-diegetic sound so that it makes the scene more dramatic and in this case helps the audience become more fearful of the vampire.
Diagetic
This form of sound is different compared to the non-diagetic sound because a diagetic sound is one that is an actual sound. It can be a sound of just anyone having a conversation or even the sound of traffic going in a movie. In the beginning of the film we hear this sound from the scene of which the actors are in a classroom and the only sound being heard is from the people in the classroom talking amongst each other. I believe that it contributed to the film because this particular scene came right after one of the first horror scenes. A scene like this that doesn’t have anything unexpectedly happen causes the crowd to calm down from a previous scene.
Mise-en-scene
The example of a Mise-en-scene is one that has a variety of props, costumes, as well as different movements and camera angles. In the scene that I chose, viewers see the vampire who is obviously wearing tons of makeup to look as if he is a real vampire, and in the same scene we see the vampire holding a cup of blood which also looks as if was a prop used for the scene. This is not only a good scene to determine what Mise-en-scene is but also because of how many different camera angles were used throughout it, which helped set the mood for the audience and at the same time was able to set different emotions due to the camera either being up close and personal with the vampire or backed away from it.
Hi Tyler, I were read your post about horror, I agree with most comments in there, however, I kind of agree with the example of diagetic sound part, you make a right explain about diagetic and example in the movie, however, I have different idea about this, you were mention in your post that “It can be a sound of just anyone having a conversation or even the sound of traffic going in a movie.” According to the background data the professor give to us in the website, the define of is diegetic sound also include that “Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film:…music represented as coming from instruments in the story space.” I think some time the background music also can be the diagetic sound part in the movie.
Hi Tyler,
Every time I read your article, I think you can illustrate your point and answer the questions clearly with an very short article, which is the main reason that I like to read the article that your post on the blog. I think I should study how to accomplish it in my blog posting. In the Mise-en-scene part, you illustrate the point with very easy example to illustrate this point to us. When I write this article, I am find the example in the movies for a long time. The reason is that I concentrate on some part of the movies. However, as you said the vampire holding a cup pf blood and his style of makeup can be examples. I think the example that you used in diagetic could also be an example in non-diagetic sound. The reason is that they also add sound that do not belong to all the things that shows in the screen.
