Slow music is played which is a Non Diegetic sound, as the female actor acts all seductive towards the male in this scene this sound is parallel as the audience expects it to play and accompanies this scene it also adds a sense of dramatic to the film as the audience doesn’t know what is going to happen next, high key lighting is used to make the individual look more rounded and stand out as the audience can see her every more which is made even more dramatic by the use of high key lights to create shadows connoting her dark side
