LA1. UNDERSTANDING THE PURPOSE OF DIEGETIC AN NON DIEGETIC SOUND

Non-diegetic audio in films is when there is music or sounds  that only we the audience can hear as it’s something that doesn’t exist in the world of the film as it cannot be heard of the characters.

These are videos that showcase what non-diegetic audio is. One of the scenes shown is from the movie joker, the scene has music that only the audience can hear and does not exist in the world of the movie and the music makes the audience feel on edge or uncomfortable ounce it uses such things as violins. This is good and is very effective as it shows the mindset of our protagonist without stating it out right. 

Diegetic audio in films is when audio is actually occurring in the films world and all the characters can hear the music and the music can change things in the film.

These are videos that showcase what diegetic audio is. One of the examples is from a film called American psycho in the scene the main character talks about the music he puts on as he puts it in and speaks about it before killing another character in the film showing that it is diegetic it is existing in that world. is effects the scene as the main character distracts the victim with I'm talking about the music and it makes it a more effective scene when he kills him.

    You have found some examples Josh, but remember you should be discussing/analysing them. Try to describe just what is is about that use of sound that makes it effective. For example, how does the non-diegetic sound create excitment/tension etc in a scene, is it the tempo of the music, the tone, the instruments, how it matches the action etc

Advertising Research for College advert

Image
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg4Mq5EAEzw I know these examples aren't really similar to a advert for a college but bare with me this is a link to an advertisement for coca cola that was made around Christmas 2020 the goal of this advert is to associate Coca Cola with happiness and Christmas time therefore you buy more of their product and if I was able to make students feel productive through the ad I make it would be very effective. Things I like about this ad is that the shots in it were lit very well and were nice to look at and in my ad for Sunderland college I also want that in either the magazine or video I create making the add more appealing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Juv2c0xgGno This is an advert created by John Lewis and like the Coca Cola advert that I spoke about before it gets the viewer to associate their product as a warm and nice and happy product around Christmas time therefore making the viewer want to buy the product they are selling. the upsides to this
