Music and Sound In Thrillers

The music in thrillers is fairly significant. The sound used adds to the effect the motion picture will have on the audience. it adds different feelings and emotions, sometimes a feeling of suspense and keeps the audience's eyes glued to the screen. Isn't that what you want as a producer of a film? Therefore from these various analysis's I will be able to assess the different types of effects and types of sound os used in thrillers.

Inception

orchestral music that gradually gets faster- to increase suspense and the build up to a climax. 

then deep bass music to also add to the feeling that something dramatic is going to take place.

the slow eerie music makes the audience feel more sucked in into the film, making them want to watch more and start to think ahead of themselves of what might happen in the film next, or even start to predict what the climax will be about and how it will end.

The Conjuring

The sound used in the trailer starts off as diegetic sound, of a happy family just enjoying life. but as it goes on there is soon no sound and then a gradual eerie sound is used to create suspense and a lump in your throat. This built up to the suspense and makes the audience want to look away but not being able to because they want to see more. 

Insidious

This trailer has a minimal use of sound, though this a lot of the time adds a greta effect. The simplistic use of ticking perhaps means that its trying to build suspense and bring you to the edge of you seat. 

Analysing the sound in thrillers has helped me because i have been able to determine that the use of sound is to generally create a feeling of suspense and edge, making you want to know what will happen further. The use of sound is generally in my opinion is what binds the film together and what keeps the audience engaged.
