This scene contains a nice mixture of diagetic and non-diagetic sounds. Under the Gestalt Principal, this scene creates "illusion" in the way that it sounds very "full", but there are only 3 or 4 sounds being created: the ocean waves, the wind, their voices and the background music. It is not a "catastrophic" sound, in fact it is actually a very comfortable scene, but still sounds very full which is an illusion of sound. The overall intensity of this scene is quite minimal, and creates a certain comforting, calm mood. The timbre is of both ambiance and melodic sounds (ocean vs. music) and pitch only occurs in the background music, which is quite high.
Space is created very intensely in this scene. The visual distance of this scene is shallow between Jack and Rose and very deep around them. This contrast is evident between the clarity of their voices, yet the rustling of waves combined with beating wind. So overall I would say this scene uses a mixture of shallow and deep space with sound to create the "full" feeling. The non-diagetic music works to create emotion throughout the scene in the way that it intensifies when Jack and Rose are physically close and fades when the scene overlaps to fade into the 'present'.
