Diegetic sound

Diegetic sound is anything that is part of the story, a visible source on the screen. This could be anything such as:
- The voice of characters
-Sounds made by objects e.g. a ball bouncing, a clock ticking.
-Music represented as coming from instruments in the story, e.g. in a scene a musician may appear to be playing music but it is rarely recorded live, the music would later be edited with the scene making sure it is in sync with the musician.

- The charcter listening to the radio


Non-digetic sound is sound that is just for the audience to hear, it is neither visable on the screen or been implied in the action. It is sound that comes from outside the space of the story events, exaples are:
- Narrative
-Sound effects which are added fro effects
-Mood music - soundtrack
