Sounds

Sound

*Diegetic sound- sound with in the story (for example the sound of someone walking)
*Non-diegetic- sound from outside the story (sound track or voice over)
*Sound track (scone)- music chosen to go with a scene
*Sound effects- sound added in post production for creating drama
*Theme- sound track which goes with curtain situations or characters (for example pink panther has his own sound track)
*Ambient sound- natural sounds from the environment (for example a bird singing at the back ground just to make it look like summer even though its not)
*Dialogue- actors speech (intonations/accent)
*sound-bridge- sound track which bridges across two scenes (sound starts with a scene and then caries on into another)

In the representation of disability secret diary the scene starts of with diegetic sound and it is mostly used throughout the scene for example when she is closing the locks of the door they make it sound loud to show that her closing the door is making the boy uncomfortable and scared about what would happen to him. Also the father of the boy usually never finishes his sentences to show that they are all in a very awkward position, same as the girl, she feels very awkward because the father is with him and also he has to be there to pick him up from his chair. With no sound in the atmosphere it makes it even more awkward, they did this so that the audiences can feel how they feel and so they no what is going on because there is silence. The first sound that comes in is when the father goes into the car and he plays the radio and then turns it of. Then he starts to play with the windows and the car seat and then he sounds his horn. After he does that a non- diegetic sound comes on which is music and the music is used as a sound-bridge because it moves from one scene to another. The sound that is used for this scene is a very depressing sound because it makes you feel sympathy for the disabled boy.
