Soundtrack

Thriller opening - soundtrack

 

Possible sounds - For my thriller opening I could use a string soundtrack. I could use high pitched violins to create a sense of panic and chaos. I could also use a brass instrument that makes a deep low pitch sound. The low pitch sound would build tension during the slower shots. The violin would then add a sense of panic during the shots in the latter stages of the opening. This is similar to climactic scenes from some crime films and also gangster films.

 

For my soundtrack I am going to use a heartbeat sound at the beginning. I will use a couple of heartbeats per shot then cross cut to another shot. The heart beat sound will gradually get quicker as the pace of the editing gets faster. I will then change to a fast drum beat at the end of the opening to create a sense of speed and chaos. this is similar to a car chase sequence from james bond. In Bond films there are instruments over the top of the percussion. I could also do this as the scene reaches its climax.
