In this lesson we went through various different thriller titles and what they each have in common. I noticed that with out sound effects and music, thrillers wouldn't be the same. Then we asked our self's 'What makes a thriller a thriller? ' and ' What things do we associate with thrillers' and we came up with things such as; tension, music, mystery, sinister surroundings, phone calls and suspense. Suspense is a state or condition of mental uncertainty or excitement, as in awaiting a decision or outcome, usually accompanied by a degree of apprehension or anxiety.
Suspense occurs in most thriller films, and make thrillers what they are. In a Gritty, dramatic, thriller film 'Crash' Suspense is built throughout from the use of sound and music. When ever something tense is about to happen, sad, dreary, music such as simple piano melodies are played.
Another example of suspense being created through the use of sound/music is in the film 'Jaws' You realise when the shark is going to appear because you hear 'duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh' this deep heart beat sound effect creates suspense throughout. The film is now famous for its suspenseful sound effects.
I think suspense is an important feature which should be created in every thriller film, it makes things exciting, scary and interesting.
