At the start of the shot the music uses violins, this creates the feeling that the person in shot is being followed; the music grows although someone is chasing the girl and gaining on her. It also uses sharp noises this can give the illusion or stabbing, this creates tension as the audience may feel something is about to happen to the girl in shot. The music then becomes very soothing and asynchronous this disorientates the audience as it does not fit the genre and is very unexpected.

It them cuts to a shot hot a man, they use a low angled shot which makes him appear important and authorative, the music accompanies this they use brass instrument which is often used to show importance in people and gives them authority.

Their is then music that uses wind and string instruments this makes the music very eerie and ominous people may get suspicious and feel something is about to happen.
