Diegetic: Any voice, musical passage or sound effect that is made during the film is diegetic either a dropping of an object or screeching from car tyres.
Non-diegetic: Soundtracks put over the film are non-diegetic because the characters cannot hear the music.
In the opening scene of Ouija, the two girls are planning to play the board, the music that is used non-diegetic because the characters cannot hear what is being played. As the young girl looks through the planchette she can see a shadow, she then screams, this is diegetic because all of the characters can hear her scream.
As the blonde women looked through the planchette her eye turned white, as the camera zoomed in, the dramatisation of the music began to build up. When the camera was directly in her eyeline the music cut off. This would be non-diegetic because the the character can not hear the sound because it isnt happening in real life.
