1) Theme music
 For the first sound effect I wanted to use a gritty modern day grime song to be played over a scene of the main character walking as this was one of the best ways to show the audience what the opening sequence would be about. People who have heard the popular grime tune would then be able to recognise that the film would be related to the sound effect which was used.

This is played throughout the majority of the first scene to try and signify that the area the character was walking through would be a typical street in London. Essentially we wanted it to look very edgy and interesting to watch so alongside the sound effect we filmed the first few scenes in a slanted motion.

The song itself is the instrumental of Skepta nasty which is a song that has generated millions of views online partially because of the rhythmic flow it has along with how catchy the beat would be. I thought that y incorporating this it would add a vibe that Londoners who watch the opening sequence can appreciate as the song is very popular and known by those who live in London.

2) chasing scene
For this effect I wanted it to seem thrilling and enjoyable to watch because the scene was very fast paced I felt as if it was necessary to include a fast paced song to go with it. Throughout the scene the music is playing and the whole idea is that the music goes with the scene.

Here you can see two of the characters on a parkour chase through the play area of the park ducking and diving in and out of climbing frames and slides. It is suitable as the sound effect fits the scene and it goes well together and I chose it because i thought it went well with the scene.

The song is Eyez top boy and this is a song which has been used quite alot in parkour chases and scenes which are similar.

3) Heart beating
I used a heart beating sound effect to make the scene more thrilling. The reason the sound effect was used is because in this particular scene one of the characters get fly kicked and we edited it into slow motion and because it is in slow motion we put a heart beat to make it more suspenseful. By doing so we thought we achieved a pretty good scene.

I felt as if it was suitable because it adds more tension and makes the scene seem more thrilling and I chose it because I thought it would make the scene feel better and look better to the audience.

 4) Punching sound effect
   The punching sound effect was used when one character hit another one in the face and I believe that by using this sound effect it made the scene much more engaging and entertaining. Originally when we filmed that fight scene you couldn't really hear any hitting going on so by adding this effect it not only helped enhance the audio but it also made the scene alot more realistic.

I chose this because I thought by adding it it would make the scene both look and seem better.
