Yes.

Diegetic means anything within the scene. Non-diegetic, or more properly extra-diegetic, would therefore mean anything outside of the scene.

The line between the two can sometimes be blurred, particularly in musicals: for example, in the film "The Sound of Music" the songs "My Favorite Things", "Do-Re-Mi", and "The Lonely Goatherd" are diegetic, because within the story, the characters are singing, and aware that they are singing. The songs "Something Good" and "Maria" on the other hand are non-diegetic, because even though the performers in the movie are singing, within the story the characters are not singing, nor are they aware that they are singing.

Another way in which the line is sometimes blurred is in scenes when what seems initially to be extra-diegetec music is revealed to be diegetic (usually done for comedic purposes, for example in "Blazing Saddles" when Sheriff Bart is riding through the desert to the strains of a Count Basie tune, and the camera pans to reveal Count Basie and his orchestra in the middle of the desert, playing the song).

What does diegetic and non diegetic mean?

DIEGETIC SOUND Sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film: * voices of characters * sounds made by objects in the story * music represented as coming from instruments in the story space ( = source music) Diegetic sound is any sound presented as originated from source within the film's world Digetic sound can be either on screen or off screen depending on whatever its source is within the frame or outside the frame. Another term for diegetic sound is actual sound Diegesis is a Greek word for "recounted story" The film's diegesis is the total world of the story action NON-DIEGETIC SOUND Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action: * narrator's commentary * sound effects which is added for the dramatic effect * mood music Non-diegetic sound is represented as coming from the a source outside story space. 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).
