Thriller Research:Donnie Darko

Sound is used to create representations of thrillers. Building storm sounds increase the tension as the credits are displayed. When the establishing shot is displayed, ambient diegetic birdsong is present to indicate it as a safe haven. An electronic humming sound gradually gets louder as the zoom increases to increase the tension. This then turns into harpsichord music which has a childlike feel to it.
