The purpose of a thriller film is to
create tension and to intrigue the audience, to give the viewer a sense of
excitement and anticipation. To meet this they have to include music that will
create the same atmosphere as the thriller film wants to achieve. Taking a
scene that usually would have thriller music and removing all sound would not
give the same effect; it would not create tension and would leave the scene
feeling dull. A range of different non-diegetic music will be played throughout
the film, the music will tend to build up as the scene becomes more intense; it
will get louder and most of the time will fasten in pace this is to get the
audience’s attention and to draw them into the scene. An example of a build up
of music is a clip from 'Jaws', when the shark Jaws is about to sink his
teeth into a vulnerable person.
They often use thriller music to show the intentions of
a character and to give hints to the audience of something that’s going to
happen; this all intends to create tension, excitement and anticipation.
Diegetic sounds are used to replace real sounds in a film/movie,
sometimes the real sound might be unconvincing. In these cases, effects will be
artificially produced. An example of this is a sequence of punches in a
thriller movie, yet by convention, it is accepted as realistic.
