Soundtrack ideas

http://www.freesound.org/people/DJ%20Chronos/sounds/33413/  -  This background sound is a recording of someone breathing into a microphone, this gives authencity to the thriller as in the thriller a man is dragging a girl around in the snow and he would be breathless. It is also quite a sinister sound which would create suspence as it isnt too loud but

http://www.freesound.org/people/cunningGnome/sounds/4908/ This was originally going to be our soundtrack for our thriller due to it's simplicity and authenticy which add more tension to the thriller as the simple sounding soundtrack makes what's happening in the mise-en-scene more eerie and chilling. We were going to use this above the other two as they were more like what you may hear in a horror film and didn't work as well with our thriller.However, when incorporating it into our thriller it was too quiet in contrast to the diegetic sound and couldn't be heard very clearly, it also wasn't long enough to keep playing throughout our thriller.

        Therefore, I researched particular soundtracks on thrillers to give me an idea on the sort of thing that would work well to entice fear and suspense without out going to over the top. First of all, I would like to have diegetic sound heard as well as the soundtrack to adds an authentic feel to the thriller, especially the dragging sound of the victim being dragged across the snow.This sound bridge effect is shown in the famous thriller Psycho, as during the shower scene you can still hear the sound of the water gushing down over the non-diegetic sound.
       
 The opening to the thriller Witness has a melancholic sound to it at the beginning, which inspired me to have that kind of non-diegetic sound in our thriller due to its repetitiveness and the fact it slowly builds up tension with an eerie feel to it. It's not too loud or over the top so therefore it is subtly frightening as it leaves you waiting for something frightful to happen. Up to 33 seconds you can hear the non-diegetic sound which builds suspense and is a mellow dream like sound.




I found this acoustic guitar sound which when playing it with my thriller it worked well to create a tense atmosphere which would be fearful.  http://www.freesound.org/people/nicStage/sounds/1178/ It is loop formatted meaning that it can be looped throughout our thriller which could give a sense of a dream like situation. Also it gives the feeling that this murderer is replaying the events over and over again in his head, hence why there is quit cuts from two different scenes.
