Thriller music details

Looking at a few songs or sequences we may want to use for our piece and music from Other thriller movies such as I am legend and seven. There are two different types really used. There is the slow minor tonality music which is usually quite expressionist and has very little texture to the music. Often the stylized dark piano is used with a minor bass and a odd scale played over the tops to give an eery/unusual affect. An example of this is air bender's lullaby from avatar.
There is fast paced action music for an opening scene where there is action or adventure. This is usually backed up by fast drums and a lot of synthesized sounds. The song would still be minor but sometimes atonal to not set it heart on either major or minor to give it that weird effect. Ambient is also very used in thriller movies. The Lo Fi quality and slow pads give it the "out of this world" effect. An example is microscopic by Gas.
