A key aspect of a good thriller is the sound. To help us understand different sounds and music which might be used within a thriller we listened to a sound clip. While listening to the clip we noted down key words on how we are feeling and what we imagine when listening to it,so that we understand what goes into the background sound in a thriller, this process is called synesthesia. Synesthesia is images you imagine while listening to sounds.

This task proved to be helpful because it gave me a larger understanding to what kind of sounds I may use when I add sounds onto my own thriller.

Below is the ‘word it out’ I made to express my thoughts and feelings I felt while listening to the sound clip.
