Sound task

In this clip, there are three different scenes included so my analysis has been split into three parts.

Within the first scene of this clip, there are 2 diegetic sounds and 2 non-diegetic sounds included. The sound of the little boy's voice is diegetic which is evident since we can visually see the boy's mouth moving in sync to what he is saying. The other diegetic sound which has been used is the sound of waves/water which is assumed to be diegetic since it fits with (and is parallel to) the setting of the scene (the beach) which contains water. This suggests that the sound of the water is part of the scene as opposed to being added on after filming. The use of non-diegetic sound is presented via the narrator's voice which has been edited into the scene post-filming. This is evident as his actions in the first scene do not show that he is speaking therefore proving that it is a non-diegetic sound. There is also the background music which is a non-diegetic piece that has been added on to the original clip in order to add a certain effect to these scenes. I believe that this music is parallel to the scene as it is calming music which is often an emotion associated with the beach, the setting that the characters are at. This music accompanies the narrator's voice as well, seemingly to set the tone of what the narrator is saying.

Both non-diegetic sounds used in the first scene are carried on into the second scene of this clip as the man continues to narrate throughout the next scene. However, 2 new diegetic sounds have been used: the sound of footsteps (people walking) as well as the voices of two characters. This is used in order to set the scene of what is going on.

In the next scene, the background music is gone, and as is the narrator's voice. Instead there are now only diegetic sounds, similar to that of the previous scene; footsteps and voices of 2 characters.
