RESEARCH INTO SOUND

Thriller movies give off the

emotions of suspense, tension

and even elements of

excitement. Thriller movies are

known for the feelings the give

to the audience

Thriller movies use a lot

of diegetic sound during

the course of the film.

Commons sounds like

bangs, ticking, and

screams. the build up of

these sounds help create

suspense and tension.

These sounds are heard

by both us and the

characters, and normally

are jumpy.

Non-diegetic sound is commonly

used in the thriller genre also. A

steady drone is use, when the

feeling of unease is needed. There

is normally a crescendo which

takes place nearer the action. As

the action increases and the

tension builds the music speed also

increases in unison . The sound

can be either parallel or

contrapuntal.
