The two techniques that might be used to imply that something terrible has happened offscreen are:
1. **A swell of dramatic music** - This can build tension and suggest that something significant or terrible has occurred without showing it directly.
2. **A reaction shot showing onlookers’ expressions immediately after the event** - This technique draws attention to the characters' responses, indicating that something impactful has happened, even though the event itself is not shown.
These techniques effectively convey the gravity of a situation through audio and visual cues.
