In the filming industry different companies use various techniques to create the perfect soundtrack for their movie they are creating. All soundtracks are different dependant on the genre of the movie and who the movie audience is, for example in the film
Bride of Chucky (
Ronny Yu, 1998) (BOC) he started off by using a audio bridge over the idents using long drawn out notes with a faster tempo included to start building tension right from the beginning of the film. He also included digetic music of thunder and rain and exaggerated this by making it loud so that it helped build the tension and get the audiences heart beats to start to beat quicker. Also in BOC they used soundtracks from previous movies such as 'Psycho' and 'Jaws'. The movie was full of intertextuality from other movies.
Here is a list of certain things that would be included in soundtrack mixes in the film industry:
- Small subtle notes which are there to help build up suspense.
- Long drawn out notes to slowly build up tension.
- Mixing both types of notes together to build tension and suspense and too also help exaggerate the scene.
- Fast and loud tempo to build suspense and get the audiences heart beats racing.
- Leitmotif which links certain things together by using a type of tempo or soundtrack (recurrent signifier).
- Ambient sound (a continuous sound which is playing during a scene).
