After watching many thrillers between us, we tried to pick out a type of sound we thought would suit our thriller. We listened to the soundtracks on various thrillers such as 'North by North West', 'Vertigo', 'Seven', 'The Birds', 'Psycho', 'Jaws', 'Hostage' and many more, to get an idea of the type of sounds associated with thrillers. Many were creepy, fast tempo, high-low pitched, frantic sounds. We decided we wanted a more discreet sound track to suit the personality of our main character (the stalker) but with hints of creepiness/horror in the soundtrack to make it more thrilling. We learnt about the two different types of sound used for soundtracks: digetic and non digetic and decided we wanted a mixture in ours.
We had previously experiemented with garage band as it was a new programme to us, which we spent time getting used to a learning how to use it. We had already decided on a base sound to suit our thriller deciding on a classical sound called emotional 1. This is suited to the OCD stalker in our thriller, we also added a pulsing sweep sound to accompany the classical, which added a sense of unormality and sounded quite eerie. We also got this from garage band. Towards the end of the track, we had sudden, loud heartbeat sounds to add a bit of panic and fear to the track. We got this sound free from sounddogs.
We are still developing our soundtrack, and would like to experiment with different pitches and tempos and maybe add a bit more digetic sound to our soundtrack to make it more creepy and effective as a thriller soundtrack. In away we would also like it to tell the story as we don't have any dialogue in our thriller. This will make it more effective.
