In the film 'Psycho' a high pitched screeching sound, made by violins, is used in order to draw the audience into a sense of panic as the non-diegetic sound is added intentionally in order to scare the audience. Without the non-diegetic sound the film would be very lacklustre and would fail to scare us. From research, it is shown that through the use of a soundtrack, in horror films, our deepest and instinctive fears are struck upon. The tune of the music is ever changing and means that the audience is kept in suspense as they are never quite sure when the next part of the action is going to take place.
From this clip we can clearly identify that music used within horror films creates a more intense tone and highlights the horror happening on screen as they work together as a unit. Without the music the film evidently becomes calmer as the music cannot be heard to build an apprehensive tone throughout the audience.
This is further magnified from the intense music in the film 'Jaws' as the music start off slowly with a deep tone which begins to get quicker and louder. Due to this music we are able to feel our hearts starting to beat more as we can feel the shark creeping up on the swimmer slowly, due to the dramatic change within the music. For the music in our horror film we would use a high pitch which changes tempo in order to keep the audience in suspense so that they do not know when the next jump scare or action is going to take place.
