The Non-diegetic
When i was looking at the clip i could hear the theme music of Sherlock Holmes. i didn't know it was that until the tempo got quicker as the horse gained speed.  It has an asynchronous sound this is when the music that is not in the reality of the film of the sound.  For example the music that is being played throughout out the whole clip is a piano and a base and as it get quicker it also get louder to show how close or fast the horse is going.

The Diegetic
I could hear the horse chasing after the man, at the being is was quiet then it started getting louder as the horse got faster which made me get more excited by it. The  crow could be heard, it was between the the tempo, the beats  of the music. You can also hear the man breathing really hard,  this shows how much he has been running. the sounds that i can hear adds to scene and tell you what is going on -  for example when they load the gun you can tell they mean business.  this would be called the musical score this is used to make more of an atmosphere -  for example, all the sound that goes with the film is louder than the background so that you can still hear what is going on.
