Diegetic or Non Diegetic Sound

I want my film to feel like a classic romantic drama film. A film that no one has seen before but also reminds them of a previous one that they may have seen before. The look I want to go for is something that my viewers so "awww, that's so cute!" but at the same time make them go "woah wait a minute...WHAT!!!" As for the sound of the overall film, I want there to be sound but not too much to the point where it takes focus off the film itself. To achieve all of these looks and more that has been previously stated, I will put as much forth of the effort during the production of it all. From the shooting to the post production to the editing, I will stop at nothing to make my vision come to life and actually put it together on a screen. 

 For the purpose of this film project, I think I will record some sound. I wouldn't want it to be a silent film obviously but I do have some questions. One question I have is how exactly would I add the sound without it being too loud or too low? I most definitely will look into that and keep you guys updated. On the flip side, I want to use a diegetic AND a non diegetic sound. For diegetic sound, the characters in my film will have some lines and also speak to one another. There will be props in the back that music is playing from which will be obvious enough.

Shown below are some examples of the title sequences I had in mind:

Production

 Before I start to talk about everything in regards to production, I have to start from the beginning and define the basic terms. Also I want to note that there will be a second part to the production stage.  Starting with defining the terms production, studio, representation, and streotype. Production is the process of or financial/administrative management involving the creation of a film/movie. A studio is basically a room where the production company uses to record television, make films, etc. The portrayal of someone/something in a particular way is known as representation. A stereotype is essentially a fixed idea of a person or thing. A common question asked about movies is what category they fall in. By category I mean are they either a business, art or apart of entertainment. It is sort of obvious on why and how people make the common mistake of not knowing. What most people don't understand is that film (or movies) are apart of an industry, by this a better explanatio...

Distribution

Distribution is the way in which something is shared out among a group or spread over an area. The promotion (also referred to as distribution) of company's film to the general public is the known job that a distribution company handles. Marketing is something in regards to the specific types of activities a company does to facilitate the sale of a product/service. A business may use a variety of techniques to promote their new film in any way possible. One example of said marketing ideas is merchandising. Merchandising is where a company sells its branded items in order to gain more promotion for the specific film. A company may also use a film festival or even cross promotion. This is basically another type of marketing idea in which the promotion of a similar product is directed at the customers of another product.  An innumerable amount things happens during the distribution stage of a film. These said may range from producer getting the legal rights in order to film a story to...

Script

This was probably the start of where things started to get really stressful for me. From having to research every bit of information to making sure that I have is down to detail.  For research specifically, it wasn't really much considering the fact that I was provided with many examples. I basically just looked over the past blogs and what certain approach they decided to take. Alongside with this, I searched up the average scripts for romantic dramas considering the fact that it is the drama that I decided to choose.  When actually sitting down and typing away as I wrote the script for my film project, I realized that it wasn't as bad as I though it was going to be. Even way before we started the project I was reviewing over the pace chart and I said to myself "yep. that is exactly where I'm going to be caught up and stuck on." I have a hard time asking for help and I tend to overthink a lot. So when I actually started to plan out how I wanted this to work out i...
