For too long, «The Crescent» plays out like your neighbor's home movies — they play on the beach and walk through the house
while ominous music designed to build tension blares.
While all the
ominous and clandestine government operations are being conducted, a member of the nighttime cleaning crew — a mute woman named Elisa (Sally Hawkins)-- makes a very personal connection with the fish man through nutritious snacks, Big Band
music and sign language.
Sound effects include walking and running on different surfaces such as metal or water, jumping and double jumping,
while you can hear the Fallen and Red Legion enemies communicating as the rather
ominous sound of incoming drop ships full of enemies to replenish the numbers of the Fallen and Red Legion that you have just defeated, weapons being fired at enemies and enemies firing back, explosions and ambience; accompanied by cinematically emotional
music that drives the mood of the scene.
