the effect of silence in OTS

In my OTS I will use silence to create effect and tension for the audience.
I've taken this idea from a modern film called The Artist. The Artist focuses mainly on expression and music which would usually only be in the background if dialogue was used, I like this because it creates more tension and also the effect of mystery it will have on the audience links well with the effect of mystery which the plot and the characters have already started.

description of scene for OTS

this is an image of initial idea I have created for our OTS. The plot will be as follows:
a man gets involved with a woman who proves to be very dangerous. the woman turns out to be a person who goes around from man to man leaching off of them, and then once she's done she arranges for their murder. the audience don't know who has murdered the man in the first scene but that links to the mystery of the sequence.
