Sound

Non-diegetic sound is anything that isn't recorded during the filming period; sound that is added during editing.

For my film I plan on using completely non-diegetic sound as to avoid background noise (we are filming on a busy street) and to avoid any poor acting or ill-fitting voice to character match. Instead of using dialogue, I'm going to use 'mood music' for dramatic effect, to aid the story in a more subtle way than obvious dialogue, explaining the situation.

My plan is to use typically 'ballet' music, classical piano and at points orchestral pieces to build dramatic tension. I'm going to use several different tracks to distinguish obvious sections of the film, morning and night for example.

Here are some examples of tracks I enjoy and think would be appropriate for the film, however due to the copyrighting issues places by these tracks, I'm going to try and find a copyright-free editions of the kind of music I'd like.

I like this piece and think it would be appropriate for when Name wakes up using alarm bell and during montage of her at school to her leaving dance lesson at the end of the day (before she meets Teenagers).


I think this style of piece for the opening sequence


This is also possible music for the opening sequence up until Name falls asleep.
