Music and Voiceover

There will be little diegetic music in our film as the audience watches the main character's actions while he's under pressure and on the verge of suicide, the voiceover and soundtrack set the tone more with low music as he decides to keep the knife and this suggests maybe one last chance for triumph. The diegetic music heard is the phone hitting the wall which could bring the audience right into the characters situation. During his initial voiceover, the music will be calm - building up towards something. When the intruder arrives, despite loud, fast music playing that symbolises just how ruthless this hooded figure could be. Then over the intruder's loud entrance music, the distinctive sound of a gun loading can be heard before the intruder steps out of the lift. This lets the audience know action is to entail as we will then see our protagonist put a knife in his pocket. The gunshot that sets off the rewind of the film will leave the story full of suspense, the audience cannot be certain about what they think may have happened - they may not even know they are watching a scene from the end of the movie.
