After watching many thriller trailers me and the group were able to understand how music is used in trailers to create an atmosphere, and the type of music this was.
I discovered that trailers often start with reasonably calm music that slowly builds up throughout the trailer as the shots get more intense. This builds tension which eventually erupts with a crescendo of a song. If the tension is not released during a crescendo then the music suddenly stops when something scary or bold happens on the screen, after this it often starts again more quietly but fades out.
I also discovered that trailers use many sounds effects, such as phones ringing. These are used to portray realism which makes thrillers seem more scary.
Diegetic sound is not used as often in thriller trailers, especially dialogue. This is because it may ruin the tension that has been built, so therefore it is better to you non-diegetic sounds added in.
This research was really effective as it has given us many ideas to use in our film, which will further support the narrative.
