Sound Design Lecture

In the sound design lecture today carried out by the guest speakers Keith Brake and Ian Curry I learnt the meaning of Diegetic and Non-Diegetic. The meanings of these are below.

Diegetic - All the sonic elements which abont tin the world of the story on screen. The sonic elements which the characters react to and live with.

Non-diegetic - The sonic elements which are at work purely in the audience domain. Obviously this means the incidental music. But it also means EFX and any sounds which may well be located in the diegetic world. But are designed primarily to trigger audience response rather than an on screen one.

Keith and Ian set us some pieces of work which I shall be placing on here shortly. Safe!
