Film Language: sound presentation & sound task.

MENACE TO SOCIETY - Cops & Mexicans scene

In the extract I have chosen there is a variety of different sounds.  To begin with this extract from the film starts off with non -diegetic sound. This is non -diegetic as the main character is doing a voice over which means it isn't coming directly from the scene itself. Then shortly after we are introduced to diegetic sound as there is dialogue between the characters when they are being arrested and the police begin to argue back with them. In this extract the parallel sounds we can hear is again coming from the dialogue of the main characters. As it is an aggressive scene between the police officers and the two young black males the explicit dialogue contrasts with this making it parallel. At 1:53 to 1:56 in the extract I can notice a short sound bridge. We can hear the main character coughing at 1:53 and he still continues to cough when the camera has switched scenes meaning the same sound has been carried into a different shot. The only time i can identify music being played in this extract is at 1:!3 to 1:20 seconds. The music being played is coming from within the film therefor it is diegetic sound.
