Diegetic sound is sound that comes from the environment of the film. The couple's conversation in the very start will have the news playing in the background as one watches while the other gets ready for their night out. Once they leave I want their to be nearly absolute silence. Possibly a cricket can be heard through the open window where our character comes in. The idea of silence gives the characteristic of our protagonist as an almost professional home robber, going unseen and unheard.
The next part of the introduction relies heavily on the music. The song I have chosen both "On Melancholy Hill" by Gorillaz and "First Light" by Django Django. With time running short I chose two in order to have options. These songs are my personal relaxation songs. It was very serene and calming while also having a lot of instrumentation and sound. Our character uses music and particularly this song as his "in the zone" song. He focuses but also unwinds with this song as the music continues through the cut to his makeshift home. The music shifts from diegetic to nondiegetic at this moment. Nondiegetic meaning not belonging to what happens to the scene. However, there is still some diegetic sound as we here the character coming "home" in the forest. Sounds like him opening the bottle and walking on dirt will be recorded and hear.
