Music in thrillers tend to use a mixture of low heavy base notes mixed with high eery sounds. It tends to use orchestral music and heavily influenced by string instruments such as violins and cellos. High notes tend to hit us in the head and can make us feel dizzy and unnerved where as the lower base notes tend to affect us right in the stomach and make us aware of on coming danger. Music in important for any type of media wether that be film or television and spans all genres. The music is probably the most important thing when creating atmosphere in a scene. It sets up the tone and can create suspense, comedy or tragedy. How many times has the music been a key factor in the reason for you crying in a film? Like this?
Below is a piece of music from the Taken Soundtrack that is used in the last fight sequence. This sequence is pivotal because it is the moment where he could get his daughter back or loose her forever and get him self killed in the process. The music quickly get's uptempo gives us the jumpy tense feeling that is used to heighten the effect of the scene.
