Possible Soundtracks
This song is Angel by Massive Attack and is already one of our intertextual references because of the location in which the video is shot. This particular track has been used in several thriller films and TV series because of its deep dark undertones. For example, in the film 'Snatch' the soundtrack is used alongside the image of a burning caravan, containing a mother of one of the characters. The video takes place in a sinister, grimy looking car park that is quite similar to Anglia Square, the lighting also helps to create suspense as there are a lot of shadows. The track itself contains some very deep bass, this helps to create a dark mood that is important to some thrillers. I liked the sinister tones of the track and so I tried to find songs/sounds that used similar instruments and conveyed the same kind of dark mood by slowly building up the volume and tension.
The song helps to convey some of the emotion during this scene and shows the dark mood associated with the events happening and also the possibility of a reaction from Mickey.

Note the camera angles in your first clip, they are a lesson in themselves of splendidly atmospheric shots. Also note the cumulative effect of close ups!
