a needle drop moment is a moment where the film uses a well known song in one of their scenes. This can be used to add more impact to the scene and could change how the scene is viewed.

diegetic sound – this is sound that the audience and the characters can hear in the scene. For example foot steps or cars driving past.

non diegetic sound- this is sound that only the audience can hear and not the characters. For example an underscore for the scene

Needle Drop Moment: When a pre-existing song is used in the film rather than creating a score for the film. In some cases, the sound is synchronous meaning the sound matches the actions seen on screen i.e: character starts playing the song which blends the song into the film as they start singing or dancing on beat to the song.

For Example:

diegetic- sounds that thee character can hear (dialogue, tv, music they’re playing, sound effects)
