Sounds for thriller
(Website links temporary as pictures aren’t

One of the main goals that I set out to achieve with
my thriller was to create an atmosphere of tension. One of the best ways of
doing this was through the use of sound effects and music.
I looked into other TV and Film thriller to see how
they used different sound effects to create an atmosphere, I found that in
programs such as ‘Peaky Blinders’ they seemed to use high tempo music with a
louder beat to it, they also synchronise cuts and character movements to fit
the beat of the music to help engage the audience and let them know that
something is about to happen. Because of this we thought it would be good to
use this within ours.
Choice1:
Choice 2:
Furthermore, just before this music in the opening
we would have some calmer music because it represents the tranquillity of the
scene and how there is no danger at that point in time.
However, it would be odd to just change completely
so we were going to add in a load bang of a car door slamming because that
creates a nice cut point for us to work with.

In our thriller we have two scenes where we have a
black screen and it was important that while this is up we still give the
audience and idea of what is going on, it will also engage them more because
they use their own imagination to interpret what could be going on. We would
use the sound of heavy breathing because they character would’ve been kidnapped
and therefore won’t be able to see, so we wanted to let the audience experience
the same thing. This sound also helps add to the feelings of chaos and paranoia
and that is what we were hoping to achieve.
