Study a scene
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I will provide the scene its only 4 min long.
For this project wee need:
List 10 sounds [music and sound FX ] you hear in this scene.
For each sound, label it as a sound effect or music
Then for each sound, label it as Diegetic of Non-diegetic.
Dialogue does not count.
For example:
Jar of pickles being opened - sound effect - diegetic sound
Musical score - music - non-diegetic sound
Evil humming noise - sound effect - non-diegetic sound
Ring tone music - music - diagetic

The scene comes from the 2006 movie Children of Men directed by Alfonso Curon. In this future world, human beings are no longer able to reproduced and England is the only major city that hasn't collapsed from mob rule and it has totally shut its borders and is mass deporting immigrants. The main character here, Theo, is a civil servant and former social activist who is trying to secure highly coveted transport papers to escape the country with a very special refuge. He meets with his cousin, a government official to try and tell him a false cover story and secure the documents. On his journey, he travels from the outer ring of London where there is social chaos to the inner ring of London, barricaded off from the rest of the city, where the wealthy still live in prosperity.
*There is also a trick in this scene that complicates diegetic and non-diegetic. Please write about it.
