Sound Effects. In this scene sound effects are a key component. The ringtone of the phone and the dial tone of the phone are playing while Latika runs to her car. This element adds a lot of pressure and it makes the audience feel as if it is a matter of life and death. The ringtone is also a strong, dull sound which also adds the the building of pressure. For example if it was a very loud and happy song then it would not have the same effect. The loudness of the sound effects is also key. The loudness is very distinct, this is another thing which adds to tension. Usually in a normal scene, a phone ringing would be a faint background noise but in this scene it is very evident.
Background Music. In this scene the background music is a key component. Actually it is the lack of background noise. When Latika runs to the phone. You don't hear any noises or any dialogue. You can see in the picture that the streets are completely packed but blocking everything out makes it seem like she is 100% focussed on getting to the phone. The lack of background noise also implements the sound effects. For example if you could hear the entire street talking and walking then the point of the clear, distinct sound effects would be harmed and not maximised.
