Thriller music

Thriller music

Some thriller movies use music to add suspense to certain scenes. Music may be slowed  down or sped up depending on the type of suspense, whether it being leading to a major scene in the movie or being played through this scene to add to the climax. Many thriller movies don’t use music through the film just during the opening sequence and titles at the beginning and at the end credits, but none throughout the actual film.
I think that thrillers that use music in their movies are more, edge-of-seat-viewers so to say, when the music is used to add to the suspense I found the climax much more dramatic and entertaining.
A well known example of a movie containing music to add suspense is Jaws. This movie has a very distinctive piece of music which only plays when the shark is about to attack, this is known as incidental music.
