This document discusses potential music pieces for a psychological thriller film. It analyzes 4 pieces - "Classic Horror", "Dropplerette", "The Dance Begins", and "Redletter" - and evaluates whether each would help create the intended sinister and unsettling atmosphere through their use of low and high tones. "Redletter" is said to be most suitable with its low tones and occasional high strings and symbols to keep the audience on edge.
2. Classic Horror
This music is meant for a horror film, although
through the use of the slow paced music and
high pitched notes, a sinister atmosphere is
created which we would like to create in our film.
However, it does not follow the conventions of a
psychological thriller as they use low strings.
3. Dropplerette
The low tone in this piece help to create the
sinister atmosphere, and the high chimes
contrast to this, keeping the listener alert and
making them uncomfortable. This is how we
want are audience to feel and will therefore
consider this piece of music.
4. The Dance Begins
The title of this piece is unusual as it
connotes a pleasant time. The use of high
notes goes against the conventions of a
psychological thriller but help to create a sad
atmosphere, reflecting the emotions Harry is
feeling. However, the low tone behind these
notes will help create the sinister atmosphere
intended.
5. Redletter
This piece of music is made up of low tones,
creating a sinister atmosphere. On top of
this, the high strings would help enhance the
sadness of the scenario seen in our opening
and the occasional use of symbols would
help to keep the audience on the edge of
their seats as it is not clear when they will be
heard as it is not clear what is going to
happen in the film.
