Non Diegetic Sound














My interpretation of Non- Diegetic sound is basically the opposite of Diegetic noise i.e. noise which the audience can hear but the characters on screen cannot. This is often to display cues, scene transactions or for background music.

The use of this in the above scene increases the tension as the piano (riffs) slowly build up which almost prematurely communicates an event/action to the audience, making the resulting scene more engaging and entertaining.
