In the film Suspense by Lois Weber, it demonstrated the thrill in a film without using people talking. I found it very fascinating. The music was added in perfectly. At times where the suspense was building the music would be faster and have deeper tones, giving a more suspenseful effect. The film seemed to be a mother leaving her child with the caretaker, and not saying anything about leaving. A homeless man was walking past the house at perfect timing, he watched the mom leave. The filmmaker of this is Lois Weber, who is America's first female filmmaker. I think this film was executed perfectly. She knew when to add in the dramatic effect with the music. I was also never confused while watching. It can be hard to understand videos with no words being spoken between the characters, but this one was comprehendible.
I agree that the music helped create a suspenseful atmosphere in combination with the facial features of the actors. The scenes in the video are purposeful and direct in telling the horror of a mother and child.
