Audio

 Hey blog! Today I will tell you guys about the role of audio in my film opening. Sound plays a huge role in filmmaking as it is one of the two senses that can be experienced in a film as of now. The sound in films is broken up into two categories diegetic and non-diegetic. Diegetic audio is every sound that comes from the film world and can be heard by the characters like footsteps, talking, etc. Non-diegetic audio is every sound that is added to the film and cannot be heard by the characters like narration, music, etc. Sound could also be added in post-production to enhance the audio in the film of certain things like footsteps or knocks and is considered as diegetic sound, this type of sound is created in a special sound studio with all types of equipment, the sound is called foley. Non-diegetic sound can be used to add more context to the film or just to fill an empty space with the context.

Incorporating Audio Into Film Opening:

The film will start off with non-diegetic sound as Piper arrives at the party. When she enters the house it will switch from non-diegetic to diegetic sound. The film's opening will stay diegetic until she starts to enter the panic attack-like state in which non-diegetic sound will be incorporated. Then it will switch back to diegetic and then it will switch to a blend of non-diegetic and diegetic sound when Piper is in the bathroom looking through her photo gallery. After this, the rest of the film will be in diegetic audio.
