The introductory music:

Let’s make hypotheses about what could be happening…

The music suggests suspense because of the rhythm. It’s quite slow, then it accelerates, then it slows again. There are high-pitched moves and low-pitched moves which alternate.

We can imagine a scene of a crime.

There were voices…

It gives an impression of stress, it’s stressful. It sounds rather sad.

Before the crime, the music mounts up to be frightening / scary. The audience might be afraid.

The quality of the sound makes us think it’s a black and white movie.

It’s a short-length movie.

Let’s recreate the scenario.

1-           The scene is taking place at night.

2-           We can see a couple through the window.

3-           They are inside a house, near the fireplace, probably in the living-room.

4-           A pane of the window is broken.

5-           The window makes a frame within the frame.

6-           The woman is standing while the man is sitting on an armchair.

7-           He is reading a newspaper.

8-           She comes to him and they seem to be having an argument.

9-           She suddenly snatches the newspaper from the hands of her husband and throws it into the fire.

10-   At that point, the man stands up.

11-   She is seen through the broken pane shouting at him.

12-   We can barely hear what she says to him: “I can’t stand it anymore!”

13-   She then slaps him in the face.

14-   She is seen stepping back, as he is stepping forward.

15-   The man is holding a poker in his right hand.
