Sound

Diegetic sound is sound which is made present by the action of the film for example the voices of characters, sounds made by objects and music represented as coming from instruments in the film. The diegetic sound in our film will be the sounds of the girl's father's footsteps, police sirens and muted voices in the flashbacks. 

Non-diegetic sound is sound whose source isn't visible on the screen and hasn't been implied to be present in the action for example the narrator's commentary, sound effects which are added for dramatic effect and mood music. The non-diegetic sound in our film will be the mood music and sound effects to show that the girl is having a flashback. 

We haven't decided on the music for the film yet but once the storyboard is put together it should be easier to decide.
