Use of Sound in Short Films

Non-Diegetic:
The majority of the time music is used in Short Films to create an atmosphere. For example in a romantic Short Film the sound may be slow and sensual or it could be upbeat depending on the type of romance. The video below-Post It Love- has a quiet and sweet music throughout with no dialogue it's only the editing and the shots that makes the Plot, but the score adds to the atmosphere:


Narrative-these can be used as voiceovers. Character in the picture may be the voiceover. Or the voiceover could be related one way or the other to the chracter onscreen. For example this is shown in the short film True by Tom Tykwer:
Diegesis:
Dialogue between characters is crucial and can be the making of the movie. For example the Dialogue between the two characters in this short film-Connection-is how you get the comedy accross to the Audience.
 
    "Diegesis is a Greek word for "recounted story" 
    The film's diegesis is the total world of the story action"
