Thriller films often use ominous, slowly-paced music at the beginning to build suspense, as shown in the opening of Panic Room. The music in Panic Room starts slow with long, ominous notes alongside city sounds. As time passes in the film, the music speeds up, mirroring increasing panic and unease. Non-diegetic clock ticking emphasizes the sense of a looming deadline, hinting at what may happen in the film. For their own thriller opening, the document's authors created music in GarageBand and collaborated with a friend studying music technology.

The title is shown afterwards then the music gets faster in paste which generates the idea of panic and at unease; which corresponds well to the title. Non-diagetic sound of the clock ticking, emphasises the idea that time is running out which could inform the audience what is going to happen in the film.
