Sounds in the Doc Martin clip

There was a sound of two beats to begin the scene.The sound of water which was leaking from the sink was used loudly and was very extreme to show how immense the leak was.

As well as the telephone ringing at the time of the chaos to cause more bussiness and stress towards Doc Martin. There was the sound of a dog barking continuously to create the atmosphere to become much louder.An upbeat tune was played while Doc Martin was walking this tune was played every time he was walking to emphasis his speed and to make you wonder where he was off to. The sound of sea gulls were in the back ground to indicate that they were by the sea side. There was an intense beat that paused and played when Doc Martin was staring mysteriously at the lady with an eye patch to make the audience question why he is staring strangely at her and to show intensity. The loud noise of the lady throwing cabbage in the boxes was to put impact on how heavy they were and why she needed help lifting them.

The term diegetic is when the sound is naturally occurring in the story this happens in the Doc Martin clip when the telephone rings, the rustling of the pillow and the noise of the plates moving in the scene when the the water leaks from the sink. but also the dog barking constantly is also diegetic. When Doc Martin is walking the dog to the police station there is a diegetic sound of the shop door closing and the sea gulls in the back ground even though they are not in the shot it is still classed as diegetic sound. When the hoover is being heard it is introduced before it is in the shot this appears very seamless and we are not supposed to notice. Lastly at end there is a diegetic sound of the lady who is teaching cutting paper this is a very faint sound but is still heard.

The term non- diegetic is when the sound is not naturally occurring this happens in the clip when the two beats at the start play as they were made As well as when the music plays when Doc Martin says the word "as for you" to the dog who is always barking this is to add suspense that he is about to do something to the dog.


 Also the music in the background when Doc Martin is walking is Non diegetic as  its not a naturally occurring sound. Lastly when Doc Martin is staring at the girl the music is also non- diegetic.

Synchronous is the term used when the sound occurs from whats on the screen. This was when Doc Martin was rustling the pillow as this was done on screen.When the water hugely leaked as this was on screen when it occurred. The dog barking started of as an synchronous sound as the dog was not on screen when he began to bark but then when the dog came on screen the sound became an asynchronous sound. The shop door closing was an synchronous sound as it was in shot. The dog crying as he was on screen when he was making the high pitch crying sound when Doc Martin left the police station. The closing of the car boot was an synchronous sound . As well as the cutting of the paper and the noise of the lady moving the boxes and throwing the cabbage in the boxes was also synchronous.

The term Asynchronous is when the sound occurs from off the screen. This is when Doc Martin moves the sound of plates in the kitchen this was not on screen but the noise was heard. The telephone ringing was a sound that was an asynchronous sound. The dog barking was not a asynchronous to begin with but then was after the dog came into the shot. This happens with the hoover as well as you can hear the hoover before it come into shot but the sound is still going when it comes into shot. Also the sound of the sea gulls and sound of people walking are and very faintly you can hear the sound of people shouting which is asynchronous.
