1. For our research and planning into the kind of sounds we
would use in our production I have found different examples of the
types of sounds we will use in parts of our production. We have
chosen the sounds to suit the genre of thriller and so the sounds
are generally used to build tension as well as ambient sounds used
to create verisimilitude.
2. Tension Building This sound is the kind of bass, tension
building sound track that we would use for a background sound
throughout particular scenes of our production for the purpose of
making the audience feel tense (suitable to the genre). An example
where this could be used is as the background sound with other
sounds on top when the antagonist is sitting by the fire outside
useful in creating an eerie atmosphere. Click on the sound image to
listen.
3. Ambient Sounds Although we want to create a tense atmosphere
in the production, we also want the audience to feel that the
production is real and so to create verisimilitude we want to use
ambient sounds. Ambient sounds such as the fire burning/crackling
are also useful in helping to create a tense atmosphere but also to
keep the feel of realism. This particular sound would be useful
again in the scene of the antagonist sitting next to the fire.

4. Action Build-up In contrast to horrors, thrillers can also
use upbeat sounds throughout the films to build tension or to
create a build up of action. This type of sound uses low, bass
tones to create a feel of suspense and to build up an atmosphere
for action, yet it doesnt make the audience feel frightened. This
particular sound could be used in the scene where the antagonist is
changing her identity making the editing cut to the beat of the
music. Click on the sound image to listen.
