Micro Feature- Sound

There are two types of sound used in film; Non-Diegetic and Diegetic. Diegetic sound is sound that the audience can hear and the characters can hear also; normally Diegetic sound can be radios, conversation between characters, Diegetic is any sound that can be heard by the characters and us as an audience. Non-Diegetic sound is sound that only we can hear, this can come under songs being played over the film to set the theme such as narrative and voice overs.
External and Internal sound is Diegetic, it means if the sound we all can hear is either coming from a particular place in the scene that we can all see which is internal, and external is a sound that we can all hear but is not in the scene, i.e people sitting in a living room and the door bell rings from the hallway. A soundbridge is used to go from one scene to another, so when i.e a kettle is whistling away in another room, the person in the current scene will hear this external sound, go to the kettle to (make the tea) and that is the definition of a sound bridge; a sound that leads from one particular set of a scene  to another.
