#4 non-diegetic

 In every film you have different sounds. Non-diegetic sounds are added to a lot of films and shows. The point of non-diegetic sounds is to add more to a scene of a film. Non-diegetic sounds are used to "heighten emotions". This type of sound is made to add to the scene, either making the scene have more emotion or just trying to make a mood out of it. The use of non-diegetic sound is to guide the audience's mood, emphasize them or "intensify suspense". 

Since non-diegetic sounds are made to help with the audience's moods and emotions, it will be a heavily effect used when it comes to romance films. When you have those soft romantic moments after the challenges your relationship goes through, a soft song will evoke emotions, those emotions being a sense of relief and happiness. Through the sad moments of seeing the main character/characters cry or reminisce on the things they once had a sad song will play, this makes the audience sad themselves, feeling with the characters. This shows that the non-diegetic sounds mean a lot when it comes to the audience. A scene is made with these added sounds. 

When the main woman looks through the photos and videos between her and her ex lover, will be a sad song since she is reminiscing her time with him and their memories. As she sees her ex lover happy sounds will play since that is what she feels for him nothing but happiness. The audience will feel the emotions that she feels.
