- Write your paper in APA format (Cover Page/Abstract/Reflection/References)

- Don't use the first person point-of-view.
Avoid a casual, chatty, gossipy tone.

Diegetic vs Non-Diegetic
- Diegetic: origins within the story world of film; can include dialogue and sound effects.
- If a character plays music within a scene, that’s diegetic.
- Non-diegetic: outside the story world.
- When score or songs imposed, that’s non-diegetic.

Sound Design
- Blends realistic and synthetic sounds
- Differences between sound and image
- Perception of image and sound
- Structuring time; viewers perceive images as moving forward unambiguously
- Codes:
- The sound hierarchy (voice, effects, music presented in carefully regulated volumes).
- Sound perspective (correspondences w/viewer’s acoustic perception of space).
- Sound bridges
- Off-screen sound
- Sound montage
