Sound in film

The use of Sound in film 

Two of these key words were verisimilitude and diegesis. 

The diegesis is the creation of that world. The verisimilitude is the sounds that help the believability of that world. These are not sounds themselves but sound can supported by sound.

Diegetic sounds are the ones the ones that would exist within the film and would be heard by the character(s). An example of this is the character could have a radio which is playing music.

Non-diegetic is the opposite of diegetic and is when the characters cannot hear the sound; an example of this is when a film has a voiceover, sound effect or a score.
