 Non-Diegetic Sound 3 Examples
1. (0.10) Here in the trailer of star wars in this scene it is a use of Non-Diegetic sound, because the sound isn't visible and it is making an effect for the audience for the dramatic effect. This is a high pitched music at the start of the trailer. It is makes the audience think of who is this character?, What is going to happen next? and What the character is doing?. Also, it shows that the character is alone in this scene.
2.(0.50) The second use of Non-Diegetic sound, here is the music gets louder and more tense. Its effects the reader by knowing that something is going to happen next and everything is going to go into action. Here the music makes it more exciting for the audience and it makes them want to watch more to see what happens next.

3.(1.05) The third use of Non-Diegetic sound was used in this scene on the trailer. Here the music is also loud but it is even louder. This creates tension as action is being taken place and makes the audience want to watch more. It also makes it exciting to see what is happening and makes you want to watch the film.

Diegetic Sound 3 Examples
1.(1.18) Here in the Star wars trailer in this scene the directer has used Diegetic sound. As in this scene it is the sound of the spaceships in the trailer. This effects our emotions by making the audience feel excited because action is being taken place by the spaceships fighting and shouting guns. This also makes the audience want to watch more to see what happens to see who wins the battle.
2.(1.36) The second Diegetic sound in this scene is of the sound of spaceships shooting and exploding. This effects the audience by making us excited and also could be devastation. Exciting because you wanted the side what made the other spaceship explode to win but also there could be devastation as the side the spaceship exploded you wanted them to win but they didn't. So there can be mixed emotions for this scene for the audience.

3.(1.50) Finally, the last Diegetic sound in this scene is the sound of bullets from all different directions being shot. This creates tension for the audience because they don't no which side is going to win. Also the audience could be feeling excited to see what happens next as a lot of different actions are being taken place. This also makes the audience want to watch more to see what side wins and because it is exciting to watch not boring this also makes the audience want to watch more to see what happens next.

In this scene it is Lighting and colour, Ramona is lit up brighter than the two characters behind her. This shows us that she is more important in this scene from the characters behind her as the characters behind her are darker than Ramona. This also could mean because she is lit up she is very different to the other characters and everyone now a days as not many people have purple hair, this also makes her stand out from the two characters behind her.

It has also drawn our attention through the positioning of the characters.
In this scene the directer has used Costume, Hair and makeup. Here this shows that the his hair is black and this could suggest that the character is very unusual and different to other people. His black makeup around his eye suggest that he has an evil personality.
