Post production: Soundtrack of our thriller

Introduction: Soundtracks are important in thriller because they set the atmosphere and tone for the thriller. The soundtrack gives the audience an impression of what themes the film will associate with.
 The audience will be filed with tension due to the effective frightening sound. It is crucial for sound to be used at different times, this is because it is decisive in making the audience connected or disconnected to the film.

The conventional soundtrack of a thriller is that the soundtrack will contain features of sound that will create fear, tension and suspense. In addition, Non diegetic sound is used with our soundtrack this creates a atmosphere of fear creeping into the audience. However, the non-diegetic sound didn't have to be specifically soundtrack, it could have been voice overs.

Within our thriller we used diegetic sound to so that the audience could have an idea what is going on in the scene. In addition, we used non diegetic sound with the soundtracks, this was to create a atmosphere of tension amongst the audience as the antagonist was approaching the female victim in her bedroom.
For our sound the film that influenced us was psycho in terms of the use of non-diegetic sound as the antagonist is appearing to the female victim.


This Image shows the software we used to create the sound for our thriller production. The software we used to create our sound was Logic pro.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the soundtrack we created along with our other sound has made our thriller really conventional.

Post -Production: Audience feedback

Audience  feedback and Importance:

Audience feedback is comments you receive from people in your target audience on the film production you have produced. This is important because it set aims of what you need to improve for your next film production

Before the making of our thriller production we carried out a questionaire to carry out a research for our target audience to see their liking and dislikings within the thriller genre. The questionaire helped us to make our thriller film very conventional. The questionaire was our foundation to create our thriller around. For Instance, our thriller mostly highlighted the antagonist character  as in the questionaire most peole said they found the antagonist the most appealing.

Focus Group:

In my group we chose ken to take screen shots of the focus group, since he has natural talent of taking good pictures. This was beneficial for understanding of thriller conventions and film making because it tells us how film production work functions.
