MUSIC

One of the most important parts of a film is its music. Many great films have the reacuring theme of great music, for example 'The Lord of the Rings', 'Starwars' ect... From looking at the music in thriller openings, it seems to consist largely of synthetic sounding string instruments, with the ocasional percusion. Also the music seems to be disonant (out of any sort of key). This makes the listener feel uneasy, and this helps build the tension.

I went in to the recording studio and selected string sounds with the synthesizer and created a piece of music that was in no key. Further I aded the sound of rain and thunder to add to the pathetic falacy, and help build up the mood.

Here are some screen shots from the recording software:
