These ‘shrieks’ suggest what is to come. Another example of where music is used to build tension is when the man falls into the sea, after the jetty he was standing on

It emphasises the fact the in reality no one is safe. A cheerful young bunch of teenagers enjoying themselves and it turns out that within all of the safety surrounding them there will always be some kind of danger no matter how hard you try and protect yourself. This was also similar in the other two attacks. I think this is the meaning of the

What do you think of when I say the word pitbull? Do you picture a cute happy dog, wagging its tail happy to see you? Or do you see a mad dog, foaming mouth lunging at small child?
