Diegetic and non-diegetic sound

sound within the production is considered just as important as the visual aspect of the film. creating the Atmosphere through the use of non- diegetic sound. which consists of anything from music or dramatic, emotional or intense sounds which add to the effect which best fits the on screen mood.

The way in which sound can change the whole experience of a production is huge. And the ability to choose the best sounds and music which can express the situation, mood or expressions of characters within a film.

Another type of sound design is foley sound. this is done in post production where individuals may look back on the shoot and see what sounds are missing. and gather both everyday and technical objects and equipment and try to best create what these sounds would have sound like. this can be anything from walking around in amor to create the sense of a marching army or a cheese greater swung on some string to create the effect of a dragons tail whipping as done in "The lord of the rings"

This may be needed for specific sounds which cant be created by what we have on set such as stabbing noises. Or if a sound does not sound like what we want or expected.
