Music Behind the Scenes - Suspense (Digital)

Examines how composers create suspense and terror in a movie scene and how sweet melodies are used to subvert shocking visual material.

Scenes expressing horror are preceded by an extended drone note to replicate anticipation of terror. Composers play with this convention, eg. the composer for Psycho recreated sounds of stabbing with short staccato notes from violins.

Music Behind the Scenes is an entertaining and emotional journey into the most crucial aspect of all great movies - music. Specific movie genres are looked at with a wealth of instantly recognisable film footage, archive clips and interviews.

©2001CreaTVty Ltd and Take 2 TV Partnerships Co-production in assoc. with NBD Television Ltd. Produced by Gavin Alexander, directed by Howard Hull.
