Tsotsi: Use of sound and music

In the film "Tsotsi", directed by Gavin Wood, music and sound provide  strong support for the atmosphere of the setting. The film takes place in South Africa, showing the character of Tsotsi, a young punk now struggling the the internal turmoil from the harm he's caused others. The soundtrack supports the setting of the urban, that Tsotsi comes from. The fast pace matches the quick moving lifestyle of crime that to this point, Tsotsi has embraced. 

Along with the soundtrack, the additional scores used in the film aided to setting the tone of the scenes. In the example below, the sounds of the train combined with the subtle sounds added in creates  an ominous tone that is mixed with a sense of urgency. This allows for the viewer to better place themselves in the scene that Wood is showing us, and to feel the horror of such a sudden act.
