Answer 1

The two correct techniques to imply that something terrible has happened offscreen are:

1. **A swell of dramatic music** - This technique can create an emotional response and signal to the audience that something significant and likely distressing has occurred.

2. **A reaction shot showing onlookers’ expressions immediately after the event** - This can convey the aftermath of an offscreen event by showing how the characters are impacted, thus implying something terrible has happened without directly showing it.
