Diegetic and Non-Diegetic Music

The video tutorial explains the two main types of film music: diegetic and non-diegetic. Diegetic music exists within the film world, such as characters singing or playing instruments, while non-diegetic music is external to the film world, like background scores that only the audience hears. Examples include Marty McFly's performance in 'Back to the Future' for diegetic music and the iconic theme from 'Jaws' for non-diegetic music. The video also hints at future discussions on meta-diegetic and acousmatic music.
