Analysis 

Fight scene 

Opening fight scene.  sherlock holmes is losing and music starts playing this music is non-diegetic. The music is old folk music this suggests the time period 

the thought process. Everything is quite but his voice in his head ( this voice is non-diegetic to everyone else ) 

Finel fight scene. sherlock wins and the crowed goes silent this means they go in shock the silents is for effect.
