In The first clip we listen to, the main sound that we hear is strings, this could either be a violin or an organ. This creates tension and suspense. This is effective because it makes you feel panicky as you do not know what is going to happen next. It keeps you on the edge of your seat from the anticipation of not knowing what is going to happen. It also has a slight sadness to the sound. This makes us feel sacred and sorry for the children that are being held in the van and especially the child who has got a knife being help up against his throat.
In the second clip the two main sounds that stand out are the heartbeat at the start and the piano notes that are being held. The heartbeat sound creates suspense as it makes us feel as though we are that character during that precise moment. It also starts our hearts to beat faster as you know something bad is going to happen as it is such a dramatic sound. The piano notes create tension as well. This is because they use a range of high and low ones. The high pitched notes are more effective that the low ones as it gives us an idea that we could be in for a shock. The low pitched notes sort of give us a sense that everything is going to be okay but then the high pitch notes start again.
