Sounds for thriller

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

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.
