Diegetic: This is how the audience is being asked to view content or subjects on the screen. Many times this is shown through close ups. This technique is very commonly used in films. This is because close up shots ensure that the audience can see all of the emotions that the character is feeling. By doing this it can cause the viewers to feel more connected to the characters and continue watching.
Intra-Diegetic: This is when the audience are put into the characters place. An example shot of this would be a POV shot. This is a very effective technique used in film in order to entice the audience and make them feel as though they are in the film. They are also used to show us what the characters are witnessing and helps convey the feelings and emotional state of the characters.
Extra-Diegetic: This is when someone on screen directly addressing the audience by either talking to them or looking straight into the lens (Breaking the fourth wall). Many directors break the fourth wall because it is an effective way to create intimacy between the actors and the audience, and it helps strengthen their relationship. This can make the audience feel more attached to the characters and become more intrigued to finding out more about the story.
