Sound

Very successful soundtracks used for thriller films or programmes.
I used these four links from cinema's most successful thriller films and television programmes. Each one of these films or television programmes uses a dramatic appeal by using suspenseful music. However, some of this music that I have incorporated is quite quirky, connoting that certain things happen to people everyday of the week, and that it is just ordinary. (Hence the ordinary, everyday music.)
Knowing pretty much the types of shots and scenes that we're going to use in our opening sequence, all of the below would compliment and flow well with our opening sequence.

Music that I think would compliment our thriller opening sequence.

My group researched artists on youtube that we think produce music that would go well with our opening sequence. All the music posted below has an eerie, effective sound to it, and gradually builds tension to produce a dramatic climax. However, some of the music is quite quirky, to represent the normal, everyday life and how people face different dangers everyday.

During the process of editing our film me and my group went on to a website called:
http://www.freesound.org/
Here we were able to type in any word in the search engine, and all sounds in relation to the word would be downloadable, you'd also be able to test these sounds out to see which one would suit your thriller opening sequence best. This website was extremely useful for my group as we were unsure of what particular style of sound we were looking for. However, having used this website as a tester for music samples we were able to identify what sort of music we might use, deciding on whether it would be fast-paced or slow, and what sort of atmosphere would it create.
Here are some links to the sounds we liked:
