Description
On-screen: A shark, an octopus, and a fish
Description: Tense tremolos are used for the swimming shark (to create a sense of danger), and a mysterious oscillating figure is used for the octopus
Analysis: Parallel tritones are used for the octopus, within a whole-tone collection; the cue ends by moving towards but never quite resolving to E minor
