sound

Diagetic sound - Sound recorded during filming, eg. speech or footsteps.

Non-diagetic sound - Sound added during editing, eg. a sound track.

NON-DIAGETIC:

This track is from Keith Jarrett's album Rio, part XIII. It is an example of a track where the first 30 seconds is similar to the type of track I would like to use as the non-diagetic sound for the murder, and could also possibly work for the rest of the opening as well since the track changes at around 30 seconds and at a few other points too.

This track would be ideal for my opening because it builds tension but not in an overly-dramatic way. For my opening I would like to build tension however I don't want to use a track that is a loud, classical track and that is very obvious in its way of trying to build tension. However a track like this would be much more subtle in building tension and therefore in my opinion be much more effective as well.


DIAGETIC:

Diagetic sound is sound which is recorded during the filming process. For the first scene (the murder in the woods), the diagetic sound will include footsteps and heavy breathing magnified for further effect. In the street scene there will be dialogue as shown in the script, however this will be kept to a minimum to reduce a loss of quality in the video due to poor sound quality. To ensure the highest quality in the sound of the speech i will use a directional mike and my location is in such a place that there will hopefully be not too much background noise anyway. For my final interior location there will only be sound such as the enhanced sound of the blade from the cigar cutter. I will record these sounds on location during filming however, depending on the quality of them, I may use either these recorded sounds or sound effects from Final Cut Pro X on which I will be editing.
