Once Upon a Time in The West

As part of our ongoing research into the 'Art' of the thriller industry we watched the first few minutes of a Spagetti Western film called 'Once Upon A Time In The West'. Although the obvious outdatedness (Is that a word) of the film provided cheap laughs from the class it was actually in my opinion a good example of a thriller film. The opening 2 minutes of film were all we saw, but that was enough time to pick up some Tentionous (Another one I will have to check with those nice people at Oxford). For example sounds like the creaky door built up a hostile mood that lingered in the backround of a scene which saw an old ticket officer standing off againest a Big Black Cowboy (Words that when put together can only mean trouble!) And also the 'Diagetic' sounds. The NARURAL whistling of the wind showed the decoletness of the area and how the man probably had no help for miles.
While I managed to squeeze Diagetic into my description I'm afraid my notes prohibited me from doing the same for Non Digetic, the definition of which I would like to list below.
Non Diagetic: A sound that does not occur as part of the action, and cannot be heard by the film's characters for example the theme tune to a movie often overlaps the titles and spills onto the start of a Movie. This is a Non Diagetic sound as only the audience can hear it.

Well anyway thats it for now Cheers for reading
