	Diegesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the author may include elements which are not intended for the primary narrative, such as stories within stories; characters and events that may be referred to elsewhere or in historical contexts and that are therefore outside the main story and are thus presented in an extradiegetic situation.
		Sound in films is termed diegetic if it is part of the narrative sphere of the film.
		This abrupt shift from apparently non-diegetic to diegetic is a kind of cinematic joke.

		Diegetic sound that comes from a source in time either earlier or later than the images it accompanies.
		Almodóvar uses nonsimultaneous sound to establish a conversation that should have taken place but never did (Ivan is not returning Pepa's calls and she is becoming desperate) when, with a perverse melodramatic twist, he has the jilted lovers repeating the words of another couple of cinematic jilted lovers.

		First, diegetic music is noted when Eric and his friends are sitting in the diner.
		One final example of diegetic sound effect use occurs during the scene where Eric and his friends are at the Todd Rundgren concert.

	Diegetic and non-diegetic sounds
		Diegetic sound is any sound presented as originated from source within the film's world
		We know of that certain sounds are represented as coming from the story world, while others are represented as coming from outside the space of the story events.
		A play with diegetic and non-diegetic conventions can be used to create ambiguity (horror), or to surprise the audience (comedy).

		While audiences may perceive the diegetic world as coherent and stable, it must be noted that almost all films are constructed from an ever-changing procession of shots, regularly interrupted by edits.
		This is important to note because Demme's regular use of an oscillation between POV and head-on shots breaks up the visual continuity of the sequence; the consistent use of a fixed spatial construction through the soundtrack ensures a conceptual "wholeness" of the space that is in counterpoint to the shifting perspectives.
		Thus the rustling of Clarice's clothes, the scuffling of her footsteps, the creaking of the door hinges, and other micro-sounds combine to create a space that is perceived as tactile by only engaging the senses of sound and vision.

		In this scene, most of the diegetic sounds (i.e people entering and talking in the court house) is inaudible and drowned out by the hymnal.
		This sinister eerie sound is mixed with the girl singing the hymnal, and creates a surreal auditory continuity between the slow-motion action on the screen and the mixture of the hymnal and the eerie, almost sinister screeches of orchestra instruments.
		The loudest anticipated diegetic sounds in the scene is the door slamming open as Hailey bursts through the door and the gunshots.

		the diegetic level: at this level the basic perceptual features of an image are organised into the four-dimensional spatio-temporal world posited by a video image or sequence of video images, including the spatiotemporal descriptions of agents, objects, actions, and events that take place within that world.
		The diegetic level represents an interface between what may be detected automatically and what must be defined manually, with ongoing research addressing the further automation of diegetic modelling (eg.
		Diegetic generation is largely concerned with what is to be done within the diegetic world and how it is to be done.

		Diegetic border crossing involves stepping in and out of the narrated story world for a variety of purposes.
		My argument is that this model of narrative processing is currently widespread, and that exploring this phenomenon is both interesting in its own right and also useful to literacy researchers and teachers alike.

		For Burch, the decision to maximize and generalize the diegetic effect of a film, rather than treating its story world as one aspect among many, is an early and decisive step toward what he calls Western Cinema, which we will call mainstream or Hollywood realist cinema.
		Achieving these goals, namely linearity, maximum diegetic effect, and character-based causality, required a mode of representation that would enhance the sense of a story world while hiding production aspects of film, eliminate spatio-temporal ambiguity at all levels, and constantly focus the spectator's attention in the direction of the advancing narrative.
		Insofar as a mode of representation constantly directs attention to the human center of interest of a linear narrative, i.e., to the part of the diegetic world containing the most important information for the progress of the narrative, it may be said to be "centering" the narrative information.

		In the point where the players create their own rules systems (another endogenous layer) counteracting the meaning-killing structures of the games, the certain thing is that there is a player group not served by the game.
		The problem with providing diegetic goals is that the players must voluntarily adopt them for their characters.
		Diegetic goal-creation methods tend to create goals that are also accepted on the diegetic level.

	questions of the diegetic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The classical dichotomy between diegetic (part of the actual narrative) and non-diegetic (incidental to the characters on screen world) music has surely recently been weakened into a continuum.
		In film, what might appear to be highly non-diegetic use of pop music, music which clearly has its own structural needs and emotional agenda, may actually have an ambiguous relationship with on-screen events and take on a diegetic or even symbolic role in forming the narrative of the film.
		a reflection of the screen is made possible by this symmetry: music becomes diegetic with respect to the participant as observed by the synthetic characters and the knot between narrative creation, [inter]action and music becomes complete.

		DIEGETIC, DIEGESIS (to narrate; dia` through; to lead): Having to do with the actual world of the film and the story being told; as opposed to formal elements which are part of the film, but not of the world depicted in the film.
		Thus music played on an instrument by a character in the course of the film is diegetic, while background music which affects our mood as we watch is not diegetic.
		Though implication is not the primary focus, diegesis is a methodological analysis for discerning the exact nature of the film including all of the action and dialogue.

		On the diegetic level, if a screen character participates specifically in the act of eavesdropping, he or she could also be said to be unconsciously re-evoking the primal scene.
		Although on the diegetic level the boy may be experiencing the situation through instinct as a kind of rejection, cinematic convention demands that on the non-diegetic level his comprehension be conveyed to the audience via the image of his open eyes.
		The film’s sympathy is with the adolescent sensibilities of the mostly male diegetic audience.

		I suggest that the film’s exploration of the location of this line is mirrored by it’s distinction between diegetic and non-diegetic music, a distinction blurred by the presence of sound reproduction technology within the narrative.
		In this way he makes it clear that his play on distinctions between diegetic and non-diegetic music is to be understood in the context of the distanciating potential of sound reproduction technology illustrated by his use telephones.
		To break down the distinction between diegetic and non-diegetic music is to acknowledge film as surface: there can be no escape from the grounding in the materiality of the medium.

		The term "diegetic" refers to sound -- either dialog, music, or effects -- that appears to originate within the film frame.
		For example, if a character speaks and we see the lips move on the screen and hear the words then the sound is considered diegetic.
		Diegetic music most often occurs in doucmentaries about rock artists or other musicians, usually via their performance.

		In this excerpt, as in much literary fiction, diegetic dialog alternates with narration, that is, with a narrator's description, directed to the audience, of the scene or action.
		In reading the novel, the reader can see that the diegetic dialog is enclosed in quotes, which sets it apart from the narration.
		The most clearly diegetic section of the entire piece is presented at 14:00: it features a low rumbly room tone, unintelligible speech, and footsteps progressing from left to right in a reverberant environment.

		Diegetic music, which is music with an obvious source in the world of the film.
		There are two types, (a) music which begins as diegetic and changes to non-diegetic over an edit or vice versa, and (b) music which is impossible to pigeonhole as diegetic or non-diegetic due to no obvious sound source in a situation that seems like it should be accompanied by music.
		Of all the above types of film music, only diegetic cues cannot be strictly audiation, however they can act as a trigger for audiation and can suggest the presence of audiation within a character.

	Ophuls Conducting: Music and Musicality in Letter from an Unknown Woman
		Claudia Gorbman observes the ironic possibilities this offers: as diegetic music is played, it comments on a scene while appearing “indifferent” to the dramatic situation (6).
		The clearest example of diegetic music commenting on onscreen action is offered by the Linz sequence, in which Lisa declines the lieutenant's marriage proposal (shots 85–93).
		To further support this reading, it should be clear that the diegetic music's ironic underscoring of onscreen action forms part of a larger pattern of distancing throughout the film.

		That audience constructs a diegetic world from the material presented in a narrative film.
		The "diegetic world" of the documentary is usually taken to be simply the world, but some drama documentaries test that assumption such as Land Without Bread (Las Hurdes, Luis Buñuel, 1932).
		Over the course of its narrative, the film shifts its diegetic register from the presentational form of the Elizabethan theater to the representational form of mainstream narrative cinema.

	Bringing the Dead to Life
		Relationships between diegetic and non-diegetic music are frequently complex, and the differences between them are easily blurred- for example, when source music introduces music that later becomes part of the background score, or when a theme is first introduced in the background that later becomes source music.
		Diegetic and non-diegetic music together then make up an aural telling of the story parallel to the visual telling.
		From the literature, it is not readily apparent that filmmakers always consider these cues to be parallel, and potentially equal in importance to, the story and images in the way that cues with recurrent themes are.

		Another type of music heard in films is known as 'diegetic' music - music audible to characters as well as to audiences (a film score would be non-diegetic music).
		The difference between diegetic and non-diegetic music in films is clear because the role of the audience is so well defined.
		But complementary music used in-game with films in mind cannot easily be said to be non-diegetic when a player is participating in events, because such music treats the player as the audience.

		Besides the dialogue, the prominent diegetic sounds heard are that of hard hitting tackles—one feels the pain of the tackle when the loud crunch of hitting helmets and pads is heard.
		Along with the diegetic sounds of tackling, this brings the audience into the action and makes them sit on the edge of their seat.
		Other diegetic sounds are the standard ones: the characters can hear normal clatter, the horses galloping, gunshots, etc. Non-diegetic sound typically occurs when the stagecoach sets out on a journey just after stopping to rest.
