The long shot, medium shot, and close shot of the city of London alternate. A group of traders in black suits came up the stairs. The melodious background music accompanied the screen transitions, and the protagonist's voiceover began to speak. In the office, the protagonist Nick is reporting to his boss, and the phone rings from time to time in the background. It is self-evident that the bank is busy.
As Nick is dispatched to another city to start work, the film describes his life with lively music and encounters Lisa, his assistant, showing the young man's drive and enthusiasm for his work, and expressing his determination to Ambition to be a broker.
There is always a sexy female singing in the background as Nick expresses his feelings for Lisa. The background music lingers until they get married, see the house, and bask in such a romantic tune.
Nick asked the company staff to create an 88888 account due to a mistake at work, in order to make up for the mistake in the future. However, this account full of lucky numbers was the culprit that led to Nick's final prison sentence. When the female employee entered the account, the film used tense sound effects as a warning and foreshadowed the later incident.
After that, the development of the plot became smooth, Nick weathered the difficulties, and the times turned around. The year-end dividends were also very substantial, and the background music was brisk and joyful. And when the 88888 account started to lose more and more, to the point where it could not be filled, we could clearly hear the continuous heartbeat in the film, telling us that Nick was nervous and depressed.
When it was learned that the outside world speculated about the origin of the unknown account and the matter was about to be exposed, the old routine of thunder in rainy days was indispensable. Even so, the film did not completely burst out the depressed and uneasy emotions. We came to the company's year-end reception with the luxury car and Nick. People laughed and laughed, and we still stayed in the joy of Nick's success. Only our poor protagonist always forced a smile, and the heartbeat never stopped. The voice showed that Nick was completely indifferent to the reception, and was always in a state of anxiety.
In the film, the scene where Nick topped the water with mineral water blurred the sound of the environment, and finally let him relax a little in this chaotic reality, but after a while, it was the annoying heartbeat again.
I like the last part of the video. It was revealed that Nick, who was planning to flee with his wife, was arrested by the police at the airport. The moment they walked out of the airport, countless people surrounded the line, there was a lot of voices, insults, roars... The protagonist unconsciously began to make a hold and sell gesture, as if he was in the exchange and saw his colleagues who used to work together.
The melodious tenor at the end finally calmed down all kinds of nervous, anxious and depressed emotions a little, and also represented that Nick's uneasy mood was stabilized after he was imprisoned.
The film is immersed in a tense and depressing atmosphere for most of the time, and it can be said that the sound effects play a very key role. Especially the use of heartbeat sound is really the finishing touch. The music used in the film is completely relaxed and pleasant. At first, I thought it was a horror movie when I saw the title, and the classification was also classified as suspense. After watching the whole film, I found out that the whole film completely records real events. It can be seen that it is classified as a suspense film, which is largely due to the excellent sound effects. .
