3. SOUND AND CHARACTER
Non diegetic sound can effectively generate a sense of character for
example good, evil, victim or hero.
Diegetic sound can also be used to indicate characters behavior or state of
mind. For example if the music was fast paced this could build up to
main action or could show how the character is really tense.

4. SOUND AND GENRE
Sound can be a key indicator to the audience of the genre of the program of
film. For example if the genre of the film is horror then the sound will be very
dramatic and ghostly to identify the genre is horror.
Non- diegetic music can also be used to indicate genre for example sharpening
of a knife, screaming. Crime would include police sirens and gun shots.

5. SOUND AND SETTING
Both diegetic and Non-diegetic sound can be used to indicate setting to
identify if the setting is safe or not and past or present. For example
howling wind, creaking doors and branches hitting windows indicates a
sense of unease and threat leading the audience to know its horror

6. SOUND AND NARRATIVE
Sound can be used to generate narrative meaning in a number of ways.
Voice over can be an example of non-diegetic sound this allows the
audience to receive information about the narrative.
Sound Bridge which is when a sound from one scene carries on from one
scene to another or introduced before the edit. For example a boy sits in
the park watching his dog play in the Autumn leaves and the sound
heard is a door bell ringing which will be seen in the next camera shot.
Sound Bridge can link scene and suggest connections.
