Star Wars Diegetic & Non Diegetic Sounds

Diegetic: Sound which you can see where to sound is being emitted from, the source of the sound is within frame or you know where it is coming from because it showed you.

Non-Diegetic: Sound which you can not see where is coming from, it could be theme music or a narrator. Sound that the characters can not hear.



Beginning- This music that is being played is non-diegetic because the characters can not hear it. Its purpose is to add suspense to the trailer and to make the trailer more detailed and more captivating to watch. The ding in trailer was to shock the viewers for when the character (shown above) appeared it would excite the viewers for what's to come. This music continues through most of the trailer but the "dings" from the start of the trailer evolve into a series of sounds not just the "dings".

Introducing the character- This dialogue is non-diegetic although it is character speaking they are not saying the words in the frame and the viewer does not know for sure whether it is him talking or someone else entirely. The purpose of the dialogue is to introduce the character and add some detail to the plot, to paint a picture about what the film is going to be about. He says "I was raised to do one thing." which makes the viewers intrigued and want to know what he's talking about. This hooks the viewer and makes them want to watch the film. 

The Aerial Fight- The noise of the blasters in the frame is diegetic because we can see clearly where the source of the sound is. This sounds is keeping to film to its roots, implementing the same sound as what were used in the first 6 films. This gives viewers memories of the first films therefore making them want tot watch the new one. The sound is matched with a visual location of where the sound is coming making the sound diegetic instead of being non-diegetic.  

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - Mise En Scene

 

Scott Pilgrim- His costume portrays that it is meant to look cold and that he is wearing a coat to warm up. His hair shows that he isn't bothered about what people think of him as he has not styled it. His facial expression clearly shows that he is really happy to be with this girl right at this moment and that he is clearly in love with this girl. His expressions also suggest that he is nervous. The lighting is bright to symbolise how he feels (bright and happy). 

Wallace Wells - This guys appearance shows that he tries to make an effort with his polo shirt and combed hair. His facial expression looks like he is trying to make a point and his body language also portrays this by the way he is looking down towards the other character.

Ramona Flowers - You can tell by the character's hairstyle that she probably has a unique personality and doesn't really care what people think about her. Her body language suggests that she is in a rush and her face suggests that she is a bit weirded out and really wants to be out of this situation. The props (package and goggles) also represent that she is dropping off a package and the goggles suggest that she is quickly on the move and that she is dropping a package off. The lighting around her also suggest that she is metaphorically "brightening up his life".

3. Mid Shot - This mid shot is slightly blurred because the action was taking place at a fairly high pace. It shows the possessed girl running toward the person. Once again lighting is used to add the scare effect. 

4. Long Shot - This is a long shot that shows a woman sleeping on the couch but this shot is mainly focusing on the possessed girl towards the left of the frame. The lighting was used again to show darkness which adds a scary tone again and the girl is the background has her hair over her face to add another element of scare.

5. Extreme Close Up - This is an extreme close up that shows Annabelle's face to show the detail and the psychotic imagery of the doll itself. Once again the outer edges of the frame are covered in darkness to add suspense.
