Music/sound

Just about every film has all 4 different music/sound features: Ambient sounds, non-diegetic, diegetic, soundtracks.
Ambient sounds- sounds that are natural in the film such as bird tweeting, wind and rain. In Matilda there is an ambient sound of wind. And in the Notebook the rain sound is ambient


Non Diegetic sound- this is where the sound is put into the film during production. This can be a Voice Over, sound track or fake ambient sounds. This is heard a lot in Dr.Seuss book inspired films. This is an example from The Grinch. 



Diegetic sounds- These are sounds that are already in the film. These can be natural ambient sounds, dialogue and music that is being played in the film. In Angus Thongs and Perfect snogging. The music is already in the film but then becomes non-diegetic by being used as a sound bridge.

Soundtracks- This is non-diegetic music. They are normally music to sum-up a problem or scenario.
