Sound – effects, musical score…	Non Diegetic sound Diegetic sea water, chains, dialogue	To create Tension and suspense and speed up pace or slow down pace to create climax Eerie feel in the flash back like teddy was daydreaming Make it more realistic and the chains help predict the future of being locked
