Diegetic/non diegetic sound of Doctor who scene


Diegetic sound is the sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film. Moreover Non Diegetic sound is the sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action.

In the Doctor Who scene, there is a non-diegetic sound. The sound is the track in the background, which opens the scene in a dramatic sense. The music is quite dramatic, so this reflects the Masters character. Furthermore the dialogue changes from the start to the end. The Master says " Now kneel" This shows his dominance in the scene, and the at the end he shows childish words when scared, because the Doctor has regained his health " Its not fair!" Moreover, the sound of the sonic screwdriver blast is a diegetic sound. This shows that the Master has no last resort but to kill the Doctor. However, the Doctor is almost invincible. This shows the Master as a character, as he is a villain, and wants to hurt the Doctor. This also reflects the stereotypical man figure because he uses his force instead of keeping calm/cool.
