• High pitches sounds create discomfort

• e.g. Jaws music creates a suspenseful atmosphere building up and prepare the audience for conflict or sudden change

• Fast paced music for action scenes e.g. chase scene

• Low vibrations usually used to instil fear in the audience

• Noise of panic e.g. alarm , to create an unsettling and unnerving atmosphere

• Music and sounds are used to heighten our senses and make us more aware of the situation as it changes our emotions to fit with particular scenes
