Life on Mars 1) How does the sound help establish the setting and the time period?  The Non-diegetic sound that was used was the music playing during the police chase which was a song that was made during the 70s. Furthermore the characters are wearing old-fashioned clothing and driving vehicles that would be suitable for that time period.  2) Note the use of Non-diegetic and diegetic sound in this clip. What impact does the sound have on the audience?  The Diegetic sound was of the characters talking to each other and you could hear the cars driving whilst in a high stakes police chase. Furthermore the police officers were shouting a each other during the chase making it very dramatic and seem much more realistic as they were scrambling catch the criminal.  The Non-diegetic sound was of the upbeat music playing which is parallel to the police chase as the cars were drifting through the streets.

However some people could argue that the sound actually is p...
