As I am the Assistant Sound Editor of my Media Studies Group. I will inform you more about Sound Effects in general and the conventions of sound effects in Thrillers.
Thriller Sound Effect Conventions:
REPETITIVE [UNTIL A STORY-CHANGING EVENT]
ECHOING [I.E. INTO THE DISTANCE - DEPTH/SHALLOWNESS OF A ROOM] - REVERBERATING
WHISTLING WIND [I.E. THROUGH TREES]
FAINT [FADED/BLURRED/OBSCURE]
FOLLOWS THE CHARACTERS' MOVEMENTS [I.E. RUNNING AWAY FROM VILLAIN - FAST PACED]
I found a few websites that had a great variety of sound effects, including different categories like; animals, buttons/clicks and rollovers, creatures and monsters, natural ambience, vehicles, sports & much more!
These websites allow us, Media Study students to re-create noises, that we could not necesserally make during the shooting of our opening sequence, for example, if a scream isnt heard, we can always replace it with a more professional sounding one.
