Choosing Sound

I think my thriller opening sequence is boring at the moment due to the lack of sound. I am going to add some non diegetic sound to scene three.

I looked through my iTunes to see what might suit the flashback scene.

This is a song by Bon Iver called Blindsided. I want something that is quite soft but mysterious, which isn't really conventional of thriller movies. I would just use the opening of this, before the singing starts, however I think the acoustic guitar makes it sound too romantic.

This is Bon Iver - Wolves. Again, I would only use the soundtrack, without any singing. I prefer this one to Blindsided, however I do still think it sounds too romantic.

This is The XX - Tides. The pace of their music is similar to Bon Iver however the genre is different. I think this style of music better suits the thriller genre as it is less folky. I would just use the instrumental of this song, without the lyrics.

This is The XX again and the song is called Fiction. I think this goes well with my thriller opening sequence. The crescendo at the beginning is good as it fits with the slow motion I have used.

This is my fink choice, it is The XX - Fiction, but just the instrumental.
