Also, the narration by Bilbo in the middle of this scene is considered diegetic because it is one of the characters who is doing the narrating (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014). Some other examples of diegetic sounds in this scene are the dialogue between Frodo and Gandalf, the clattering of the horse-drawn wagon, and the patter of little Hobbit feet as Gandalf passes their house. The song is very upbeat and legato (legato means smooth in Italian), which adds an even more peaceful and happy feel to the scene.
Also superimposed into this scene is music, which is non-diegetic. At the beginning of the scene we can hear birds chirping and wind blowing through the trees these are all diegetic sounds.Specifically, the wind blowing through the trees adds to the peaceful mood of the scene. In this scene, there are many sounds used. This scene is set in the Shire, a small, rural, and peaceful area of Middle Earth where small humanoid creatures called “Hobbits” live.
For example, in the film “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” many sounds are used in each scene, specifically for this post I will be focusing on the extended edition of “The Shire” scene (EgalmothofGondolin01, 2012). Sound and cinematography work together to create a specific mood in films and their scenes. Sound has the ability to enhance an audiences experience by demonstrating the mood and theme of a film. Sound is very important to every theatrical experience. If the music is superimposed onto the scene, however, it is non-diegetic. a character is playing an instrument or listening to a band) than it is diegetic. If the music is coming from inside the movie (i.e. Music on the other hand can be either diegetic or non-diegetic it all depends on where it is coming from. For example, if in a film a building explodes the sound of the explosion is most likely a sound effect (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014). Sound effects are sounds that are placed into a film in order to heighten the audio experience of the audience. Sound effects are generally non-diegetic sounds. Dialogue is a diegetic sound and is defined as when characters are talking and interacting with each other (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014). According to Goodykoontz & Jacobs (2014), diegetic sounds are sounds that are coming from inside the world of the film whereas, non-diegetic sounds are sounds that come from outside the movie space. These sounds are also split into either diegetic sounds or non-diegetic sounds. The three basic categories of sound are dialogue, sound effects and music.
