  14. In film music, what is diegetic music? Give an example. What is underscoring and what is it used for?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Diegetic sound is sound that is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film and voices of characters. sounds made by objects in the story. music represented as coming from instruments.

  16. Diegetic soundis sound thats source is visible on the screen (E.g. voices or objects in the scene) Non-diegetic sounds are sounds that have been added in, this can include things like music, narration and sound effects.
    In films, underscoring is where music is being played quietly under dialogue or a scene. It is usually done to create the mood or theme of what is on the screen.

  17. Diegetic music in film is where a sound is produced by a character or object in the scene such as a radio playing music. Underscoring is the music that is playing in the background. It is used to set the mood of a scene.

  18. Diegetic music is an object making sound in a scene, which is visible. An example of this would be a radio or people speaking. The background music however is called underscoring and this will set the scene, the genre or could build up to a main event.
