I consider using these film techniques!

Have you ever wondered if your whole life was a t.v show? Well in the film, The Truman Show, that thought became a reality for Truman. Directed by Peter Weir, this film had many film techniques, the two I will be discussing in my essay are diegetic and non-diegetic sounds.

The boat traveled across the sea, that seemed as if it was real. Truman got cozy. Just when the boat was getting closer to the wall, the shadow was expanding. "Boom, bang," these were one of the diegetic sounds that were used in The Truman Show film. If you have no idea what this techniques is all about, it's basically about sounds that looks like it's coming from the film, which it is. In many movies there are a lot of this one technique that has been used. A diegetic sound is used just like a normal sound effect, examples are, talking, footsteps, or even a car starting.

"Say something, God dammit you're on television" He asked loudly. Truman stared upwards and answered, "In case I don't see ya, Good afternoon, Good evening, and Goodnight." *Graceful music starts with fast pace* A tear came running down Sylvia's face while she cheered when Truman walked through the black door of freedom. *Music ends*. This Happened at the very end of the final scene, and the technique used in this scene was, non-diegetic sounds. It is indeed the opposite of the first techniques, which means, sounds like background music are all added in while editing. How it's used, is the music or sound will need to suit the reaction, emotion of the people in the scene, or even the moment.

To sum this all up, a diegetic sound are sound effects that happen during the scene. A non-diegetic sound is a sound that is added in while editing. In movies they use more than just these two techniques. They use different types of camera shots, camera angles, and camera movements. So, in order to make a movie you need to use a variety of different techniques. Will you consider using these techniques?
