Diegetic and Non-Diegetic are both used often in film often as they are both effective way of intriguing viewers in. Diegetic sound is the sound that can be heard by the cast as well as the audience. While Non-Diegetic sound can only be heard by the audience.
Diegetic sound makes the viewer feel more intense. Diegetic sounds are often thought to be realistic, such as fight scenes in a movie when the character as well as the viewers can interpret the different sounds. The sound of the busy high street for example when a character walks down it you hear the cars driving by the business of the street it makes you feel like you are in the street with the character to make you feel closer to the character even if you have only just met them.
Non-Diegetic sound can be just as effective to bring in the audience in one of the best examples of this is the music in jaw the tense music before jaws strikes makes the film memorable nearly everyone who hears that music will know it is a reference to Jaws. The sound also builds up the intensity of the scene with something diegetic sound could not do.
