In order to create a suspenseful thriller opening it is vital for us to have a soundtrack which echoes the genre of the film and mirrors the actions which are occurring on screen at the same time. This helps to support and emphasize the images being shown and add drama, helping to build tension and indicate action.
Similar films to ours would those from the Bourne Trilogy, which is about a man on the run who is confused about his past and abilities because he is suffering from amnesia. The film has many action scenes and a soundtrack to match is excellence. The music really helps to build the drama and suspense in sections leading up to an action scene. The music is very simple and fast paced, very monotonous at the start, however the drum beats builds as something important occurs on screen, this helps to emphasize its significance.
In these scenes we are able to see the matching visuals and the accompanying audio. As the music slowly builds it suddenly drops at a tense moment, it then continues, with each drum beat getting significantly more forceful and slightly louder. The presence of sirens override the music at points alerting the audience to the immediate danger. However the beat continues in the background ascending with each extreme attempt to escape.
