For my A2 coursework I will be creating a film trailer, advertisement and a magazine cover. The genre I will be focusing on is 'horror'. In order to broaden my understanding of this genre I will be researching other excisting products relating to this genre. This will help me to have a clear understanding of what I need to include in my own media products.
Music is Iconic in every film, and some would say its the most important aspect of a horror film. The reason why music is so important in a horror is because the plot is not supposed to be predictable, it's an intellectual mind puzzle wanting the audience to find out what will happen. Music in a horror can make you jump, make you feel tense, weary, worried, scared & uneasy.
Stringed instruments are iconic in horror films and have been used for many years in order to create a sense of fear and suspense. The use of high pitched piano keys are a common and good way to create tension for the audience. However silence is also used a lot in order to slowly build up the music which is to come, waiting for any kind of action or the climax of the film to happen.
This piece of music is a mixture of creepy, mysterious and uneasy sounds we will be using.
Violins(string) High pitched & almost mocking. Chase scenes.
