Thriller Film Soundtrack

When constructing our thriller opening a key factor to take into consideration was the soundtrack, although when we made a final decision we didnt have any music that carried on but a short piece of music everytime a flashback was shown. When the flashback began a sudden sharp high pitched noise that lasts a couple of seconds can breifly be heard, this symbolizes to the audience that the flashback has begun after that a short piece of eerie music is played throughout the duration of the flashback, this is to give the impression that the protagonist's past may be consumed in sinister goings on.


When researching for a sound effect for the begining of the flashbacks we decided we wanted something like the sound effects heard in the opening of 'Se7en' a sort of sharp metallic grinding noise. Then when we were looking for music to play during the flashbacks we wanted an eerie sort of echo noise that sort of came in waves, suggesting that it was calm yet mysterious aswell.
