MUSIC FOR HORROR THRILLER OPENINGS

As part of my AS Coursework, I have to create my own music / soundtrack to the opening of the horror - thriller movie ( First two or three minutes). I will be creating the music on the app called GarageBand.

How do film-makers manipulate our emotions with music?

Heightened senses - It demonstrates the importance of music in film, and the power a soundtrack can have over audiences. Composer Neil Brand, presenter of BBC Four's The Music that Made the Movies, believes our senses are already heightened as we enter the cinema.
Noise of panic - A 2010 study by the University of California found that human sensitivity to non-linear alarm sounds, such as ones made by groundhogs to warn about predators, is being employed by film composers to unsettle and unnerve.
Extreme vibrations -Film composers know that and use it to shortcut the logical part of our brain and get straight to the emotional centres. Some filmmakers are now using infrasound to induce fear in audiences. These extreme bass waves or vibrations have a frequency below the range of the human ear. While we may not be able to hear infrasound, it has been demonstrated to induce anxiety, extreme sorrow, heart palpitations and shivering. Naturally-occurring infrasound has been associated with areas of 'supernatural activity', as well as being produced prior to natural disasters such as storms and earthquakes.

Here are some soundtracks I could use an example before starting to create my own music to the horror - thriller opening.

Dramatic Music - "The Strangers" (Emotional Thriller And Horror)

I catch you - Horror - Thriller - Soundtrack by Giovanni puocci

This is how I made the music to mine and Georgia's opening sequence horror thriller. I used Garageband to help me with composing it. I have used many eery and creepy sounds to make it sound frightening and suspicious. These are the steps of how i made it.
