Diegetic, non-diegetic

 

What makes a good thriller soundtrack?

 

·         ALWAYS in a minor key

·         Strings - often high pitch

·         Percussive heart beat sound (usually in the bass)

·         Increasing in speed and volume

·         Nursery rhyme themes work well for scary

·         No lyrics

·         Chromatic

 

 

Possible soundtracks

 

Ligeti 16 voices

·         Very simple but very creepy

·         Very choir like

·         Good for supernatural thriller
