Music Ideas

Music in thrillers is usually used to create suspense and tension, also it more often than not to give a indication of when something is going to happen. However, in my thriller I initially wanted to give indication to the characters life style and personality. Also, something that would tie into what was actually occurring on screen. Through this it leads the character into a false sense of security as the will not be expecting anything to happen. In addition to this, we would like it to seem to the audience that the main character is listening to the music as well.

We listened to a number of soundtracks and shot listed some to listen to again.We listened to the short list whilst watching some of our filmed footage, and some pieces of music had a too fast pace over all and others didn't have the right sense of tension.

Possible ideas are : Nine in the Afternoon: Panic!At the Disco
After Every Party I Die: IAMX
Time To Pretend: MGMT

In the second section, I'd like to use a change of music to indicate to the change in her state of mind. With this music this is when i want to try and build up tension, and start to indicate to my audience that something not right is going on. Also, this music will have to continue to the credits and also have an rave feel.

Possible ideas are: Born Slippy: Underworld
Insomnia: Faithless
Through the Loop: Pendulum
