Film language: Sound presentations and homework

The conversation 2

This clip uses diegetic sound frequently, there is a lot of the diegetic sound whilst the dials rewind, the clicking, the conversation of the characters, the speech at the end, the sound of the traffic and the church music to name a few.The is no non-diegetic sound which i think is due to the fact that the director wanted the audience to be actively listening to the main character and be in the same mindset as him, this would cause the audience to feel more connected to the movie and understand each concept on an emotional level. There is a lot of parallel sound when we see the man typing and the male and female character talking outside however when the man is listening in onto the conversations contrapuntal sound takes place as we can only see the man in the calm room focused on his work but you can hear the sound of traffic carrying over foe example. 
There is a sound bridge at about 2:00 minutes into the clip when the church music carries over before we see the scene and the camera is still on the man listening. 

There is only limited music in the scene to add a more focused and attentive attitude with the audience. The dialogue is the speech at the end that we hear without any other distracting diegetic sound yet the conversation between the other man and women is interrupted by the diegetic sound of the traffic.
