The music within a thriller film is usually dark and constant, with a big build-up of instruments and various stings in the music, where appropriate with the visuals. This is used to help build up tension and makes the audience think something bad is going to happen because of the ominous tones. Although the sound is usually conjoined with what is happening within the mise-en-scene, there are occasions where the music seems irrelevant. Crescendo's are used a lot in thrillers, to make the audience jump and feel uneasy, especially at awkward times in the film.
Music within a thriller films is usually quite distintive. The film makers generally tend to use the music to create suspense and add tension to the scene this is usually done by having a fast drum beat as this makes the audience think something bad will happen (like in Jaws). The music that is used also generally fits with what is playing on screen as it is a very useful tool to 'play' with the audiences emotions.
