During vs Throughout, what's the difference?

Throughout means something happens through every part of the time while During means something happens at some parts of the time.
Also
During would indicate when/under what circumstance something occurred, whereas throughout would mean that it is continuous or reoccurring.

For example 

• He was sleeping during the movie. 

This tells us he was sleeping while the movie was running, and it doesn't necessarily imply that he was sleeping continuously.

• He was sleeping throughout the movie"

It means he was sleeping from beginning to the end of movie.
