Contrast
In our Contrast shot we added both non-diegetic sounds and diegetic sounds. The diegetic sound is the conversation between Jairo and Scott because both characters can hear it, while the non-diegetic sound is the voice inside Jairo's head while he's watching the video. This is non-diegetic because no one other than the viewer can hear these thoughts, except maybe for Jairo. These thoughts are also known as post-synchronization dubbing.
Parallelism
The sound introduced in these shots is also post-synchronization dubbing. We implemented a warping sound that acted as a transition from Scott's id to the real Scott. We also took out the background noises so the only sounds in the scene are non-diegetic.
Simultaneity
In this scene we added both horror and jazz music. The horror music represented the serial killer getting closer, while the jazz music showed Scott reading, giving each shot a different meaning. Again only post-synchronization dubbing and non-diegetic sounds were included.
Symbolism
We decided not to add any sounds in this scene because we already had dialogue, which is diegetic. We felt that it introduced a more sinister tone since nothing but all is quiet besides the conversation, which almost foreshadows that the serial killer is near.
Leit Motif
All of these sounds are diegetic because the characters can hear the music when it is being played. The music represents the fall of Jairo as he slowly delves in to his serial killer persona.
Bloopers
These shots also have diegetic music that makes the end of the film funny in an awkward kind of way, and with out the music, oh boy, I wouldn't want to watch this. It's already hard watching this with the music.
I really liked the voiceover in the first contrast shot! When I was reading your digetic vs nondigetic sounds I didn't understand until I heard the voice in his head, but it gave a very cool effect to the listeners.
