Editing Sound Design and Diegetic Sound (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Understanding</span> ==
Sound design is understood through '''Presence''' and '''Narrative'''.

'''1. The "Invisible" Space (Atmosphere)''':
Sound "Creates" the "Room."
* If you "Close your eyes" and "Hear" a "Dripping Tap" and "Echoing Footsteps," your "Brain" "Sees" a **"Dungeon."**
* **Sound Designers** use "Layered Textures" to "Convince" the viewer that the "Flat Image" on the screen is a **"3D World."**
* This is "Sonic Architecture."

'''2. The "Diegetic" vs. "Non-Diegetic" (Perspective)''':
Who is "Hearing" this?
* **Diegetic**: "Connects" us to the "Environment."
* **Non-Diegetic**: "Connects" us to the **"Director's Emotion."**
* A "Masterpiece" (like 'The Conversation') "Blurs" the two.
* Is the "Humming" in the character's ear a "Broken Light" (Diegetic) or their "Growing Madness" (Non-diegetic)?
* "Sound" is the "Key" to **"Subjectivity"** in film.

'''3. The "Power" of Foley (Tactility)''':
"Hearing" is "Believing."
* **Foley Artists** use "Celery" to create the sound of "Breaking Bones" and "Cornstarch" for "Snow."
* Why not use "Real" sounds? Because "Real" sounds often "Sound Fake" on mic.
* **Foley** "Exaggerates" the "Texture" of the world to make it "Feel" "Tactile" and "Grit."

'''Ben Burtt’s 'Sound Design' (Star Wars)'''': He "Invented" the "Sonic Language" of Sci-Fi. He used a "Radio Tower Cable" for the "Blaster" and an "Old Projector" for the "Lightsaber." It proved that "Iconic Sounds" are "Found in Reality" but "Remixed" for "Imagination."
