Sound - Caitlin and Charlie

We have been looking at sound in thriller movies such as Saw, The Orphan and The Grudge. we like the soundtrack in the introduction to Saw because  creates a very eerie atmosphere and makes the audience wonder whats is happening or about to happen. The music is played over establishing shots and really gives you the feel that in the film something bad going to happen, just by showing some scary shots with scary music played over the top, i felt this was a simple but effective way to draw people into this thriller.

In the beginning sequences of thrillers nothing really happens however it gives little hints of the plot by using eerie non diegetic music with the use of film. This helps make the audience wonder what is the importance of specific characters shown in the opening sequence. By using sound bridges and non diegetic music that relates to what is shown on the film, this will make the audience feel connected and want to know more about the character/s shown, also by using establishing shots to the plot will make people wonder the relevance of these places and things to the rest of the thriller, to achieve this we could connect both characters and establishing shots with sound bridges to illustrate to the audience that the two are connected in some way and really important to the rest of the film, even if the audience isn't sure how.
