The Music

As mentioned before, music and sound is one of the main ways tension is built in a thriller, and so it was really important for our group to find the right piece of music to go over our opening sequence. We looked into trying to make our own but decided it would be easier to find a high quality piece on Youtube.
We searched for key words like 'tension' and 'thriller' and one of the first pieces we came across was the one we used.

We decided to use this music instead of our original choice because it built tension a lot better, but was a lot more dramatic towards the end. In the middle of the piece there's a load bang which we managed to match up perfectly to when the killers hand touches the shoulder. It also sounds really creepy and chilling, which fits our genre really well.

Because it's Royalty Free we can use this in our sequence, because it won't break any of the copyright or licence laws, and we won't have to pay for it.
