The two techniques that might be used to imply that something terrible has happened offscreen are:
1. **A reaction shot showing onlookers’ expressions immediately after the event** - This technique allows the audience to infer that something significant and possibly terrible has occurred based on the reactions of those witnessing it.
2. **A swell of dramatic music** - Dramatic music can set the tone and indicate that something serious or distressing has happened, even if the event itself is not shown on screen.
So the correct answers are:
- a reaction shot showing onlookers’ expressions immediately after the event
- a swell of dramatic music
