diegetic sound is the sound that is in the universe of the film or tv show. sounds like cars, gunshots and footsteps are just a few diegetic sounds that can be used. diagetic sound is what you can see on the screen anything else is non diagetic sound.
Non-Diegetic Sound
non diegetic sound is sound that you cant see on screen or that the characters are not aware of it. a good example would be a narration by morgan freeman or a explosion off screen. non diagetic sound would be used to have a narration explain a flashback or whats happening. The distinction between diegetic or non-diegetic sound depends on our understanding of the conventions of film viewing and listening. We know of that certain sounds are represented as coming from the story world, while others are represented as coming from outside the space of the story events. A play with diegetic and non-diegetic conventions can be used to create ambiguity (horror), or to surprise the audience (comedy).
Juxtaposition

Mood and Meaning
the mood of a film can change how the audience feels about the scene. a good example of this would be one of the last scenes when shindler is leaving the factory sad music is being played while he is saying he could have got more people the music is used to show the audience how he was felling about this.
