POINT EVIDENCE TERMINOLOGY ANALYSIS LINK
The scene I am going to talk about is Bonnie and Damon - The Other side from The Vampire Diaries season finale (5x22), released on May 15th 2014. In this scene, Bonnie and Damon have been trapped on the other side when trying to save their friend and Damon's brother Stefan. In consequence, they have been trapped on the other side, as the witch opening it has been stopped by her brother as she was beginning to weaken from casting the spell. As Stefan returned, Bonnie and Damon rushed to join him but were met by a wall of magic which stopped them from passing through into real life. Bonnie, being able to still contact the living via phone, rings her boyfriend which she previously told that she would be able to come back. Emotions then run high when Damon's girlfriend Elena hears of the news and all of the characters (Alaric, Elena, Jeremy and Tyler) run into the woods waiting for Damon and Bonnie to come back. The scene then turns to Bonnie and Damon's POV, showing a huge gust of wind and lights shining on them, which then leads to them disappearing into an orb of light.
In this scene we have a range of different sounds which make it an extremely effective piece of television. Diegetic and non-diegetic sounds being the two elements of audio in visual entertainment, we are given both in this scene to create an anchored mood, which the sound editors have done specifically to evoke the audience's emotions. The first piece of diegetic sound we see is the conversation between Bonnie and her boyfriend, Jeremy. They are conversing about Bonnie being trapped and Jeremy's emotions are running high, as he believed he was going to get his girlfriend back. As dialogue is the largest element of diegetic sounds, throughout the entire scene it is the reoccurring element that we can see and connect with what is happening in the picture.
