The film immediately starts with a dark screen and mischievous music playing in the background. This matches the horror/mystery genre of our film. As the film progresses into the bullying flashback scenes, sad music plays in the background to change the tone of the story and match the protagonist's emotion. Once the film reaches its hook, once again mischievous music is played to alert the audience that a sketchy act will be committed.
