For example, you could call for an electrical/static/computer-y sound effect play right before the computers switch over to a private conversation, and another when they end the conversation. the extermination of the human race, or sending them on a suicide mission.)Īnother way to let the audience know that the conversation is private is to have a "sting" which bookends the hidden conversation.
