When asked how they builded up upon with Meiying's encounter with the Meg Erik Aadahl stated: "That's a fun scene because you have the young daughter of a scientist on board this marine research facility located in the South China Sea and she's wandered onto this observation deck. It's sort of under construction and no one else is there. The girl is playing with this little toy - an iPad-controlled gyroscopic ball that's rolling across the floor. That's the featured sound of the scene. You just hear this little ball skittering and rolling across the floor. It kind of reminds me of Danny's tricycle from The Shining. It's just so simple and quiet. The rhythm creates this atmosphere and lulls you into a solitary mood. When the shark shows up, you're coming out of this trance. It's definitely one of the big shock-scares of the movie." With Jason W. Jennings further elaborating: "We pared back the sounds there so that when the attack happened it was powerful. Before the attack, the rolling of the ball and the tickety-tick of it going over the seams in the floor really does lull you into a sense of calm. Then, when you do see the shark, there's this cool moment where the shark and the girl are having a staring contest. You don't know who's going to make the first move. There's also a perfect handshake there between sound design and music. The music is very sparse, just a little bit of violins to give you that shiver up your spine. Then, WHAM!, the sound of the attack just shakes the whole facility."
