In addition the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds there are also a vast array of other sub-conventions that the content creator may use to fully enrich their multimedia piece. like I have stated before many of these conventions are put together in the post-production process but some of these conventions are engaged during the production process such as conventions like soundscaping, ambient sounds and ambient lighting.
Volume control
Volume control is am effect used by the content creators during the post productions process to emphasis the tone and emotions that have already been set in the scene by the diegetic and non-diegetic elements present in the scene. Volume control usually parallels with the pace of the scene.
Example of volume control
In this clip we can see a fight scene between the protagonist and antagonist of the narrative. The volume control is used most effectively in the sections of the fight scene when the protagonist is the danger, the first instance is when the fight begins; as the volume and the tempo of the fight scene is greatly increased to let the audience know that a fight is about to transpire. Volume control is the further used multiple times across the scene whenever the antagonist gains the upper hand during the fight as the rise in volume control will influence the rise in the audience anxiety. The most successful use of volume control is at the very end of the clip as the antagonist had won the fight this sparked the decrease in the volume and tempo of the clip and signifies the "all is lost" moment to the audience.
Dialogue
Dialogue is any speech or spoken language that is given in the multimedia piece and is really self explanatory. When using dialogue the content creator has to consider three major aspects. These aspects are language, tone and accent. The use of language refers to the words that are spoken by the characters and the connotations of these words, language is used by the content creator as the main story telling contributor of the multimedia piece. Tone refers to the way that the character delivers that dialogue that they are saying, giving the tone of the scene that the content creator is trying to achieve that character can deliver the dialogue in parallel to the tone that has already been established by the content creator, for example the is an aggressive tone as been establish the by the use of the diegesis and non diegetic elements the actor will have to deliver the dialogue in an aggressive tone. Accents are used to allow the audience establish the origins of the characters, there really not that much to it, from the accent exhibited by the character the audience can establish the regional identity of the character and thereby make a further judgement on their possibly upbringing and lifestyle.
