Soundtrack of thriller production - Done -

The purpose of a soundtrack within a film is to increase the viewing pleasure which can be used by introducing music or sound effects in order to create more of a range of emotions from the audiecne such as fear and excitement.We used Apples Logic pro as our sound software , we found that this was a good descison as it was effective atproducing and blending sounds for our film. The sounds we used mainly came under the catergory of eeire , which were mainly slow paced , slowly rising music which were conventional sounds as they created an effective use of tension within the film.

Examples of conventional soundtrack within my thriller -
  • Non - digectic - Our slowly rising music that occurs throught the whole production , althought it rises and slows down as well as becomes louder or quiter at points of the film. Another use of soundtrack is beginning the opening credits which slowly introduces the audiecne to the thriller.


The soundtrack software I used within my thriller was apples logic pro -





I decided to use this software within my thriller in as it was effective at inserting the sound within the timeline as I could add each sounded I wanted to match the scene therefore it would make the sound parrelel to the image.

For example -


The sound is important in this scene as it is a mix of digectic sound via the breathing of the character as well as the use of soundtrack that is non-digectic by the use of a soundtrack that is rising rapidly to show how the character is feeling , which is scared and worried due to his girlfriend going missing which is therefore enhanced by the introduction of the music.

Reflection :
Our soundtrack is effective as it is parralel to our film , for example , in our scene where our kidnapper has his vitcim tied up , the sound gets higher in terms of tempo and the scene fades to black , this shows how the tension has built to its highest point and something is about to happen , the scene then ends , however the audiecne are still on the edge of thier seat due to the use of the sound. Throughoout of film we have used sounds that are conventioanl to the genre thriller as it allows the audiecne to develop there reakltionship with the film as they are more invovled with the films. The most common sound effect used within our film is non-digectic which is predominatly soundtrack , soundtrack is an essestional sound effect in a thriller as it adds to the fear and excitement which are key emotions within a thriller film.

  1. This shows some understanding of how your soundtrack is conventional to your thriller production, as you have included some examples to support the points that you have made. However, further detail was needed of the sounds that you included and a discussion is needed to explain how it benefited your production.
