Technical Elements - Sound

Diegetic - Sound that originates from within the series/serial itself, for example in Hollyoaks in the short clip below the two actors are doing their dialogue and you can hear music in the background ever so slightly so that you can hear it but not too loud so that it distracts the viewer from the dialogue.

Non Diegetic - Sound that doesn't originate from filming aka sound that is added in editing, for example in credits, the clip below is the ending credits for series 6 of Doctor Who, the theme tune that is used in the intro credits is also used in these ending credits.



Voice Over - Normally in the form of a narrator for a novel


Sound Effects - A range of either man made or digitally created noises that are added for comedy effects, applause etc,


Music - Also known as a soundtrack, every television series and film releases a soundtrack at some point, Doctor Who for example has orchestral music in its series, even the theme tune is a part of the sound track, below is a well known track taken from the Series 5 sound track called Amy Pond's Theme,
