The sound extract involves a person who happens to hear mysterious noises while sitting in a desolate room, this sequence illustrates a showcase of various sounds to create a dramatic effect.
Non-diegetic was played during the introduction of the film. A soundtrack was played in the background in order for the audience to feel that eery, suspicious atmosphere.
There is an on screen sound in which the door slams shut rather abruptly. Following that event, there is an off screen banging. Off screen sounds continue while a laugh which is non-diegetic is heard by the audience, but not the character as the character witnesses writing on the board. As follows, the on screen diegetic sound is heard by both the audience and character as the door lock is being rattled violently. This stimulates the audiences senses as attention is drawn to what may occur next. After that, the foot is opened and a blackout occurs, followed by various off screen sounds to enhance the uneasy nature; enabling the extension of diegetic sounds.
All in all, we were able to demonstrate correctly the terminology used for different sound techniques. Since we were familiar with the distinction between diegetic and non-diegetic sounds as well as on screen and off screen sound, we were able to work efficiently. Also, the sounds were correctly recorded as there was no problem with the mic like last time. The equipment did not limit us significantly. In order to improve the sound exercise, a sound bridge would've been ideal as we only had parallel noises. This included in our sound exercise would show a wider variation of sound and perhaps enhance the story as a whole
