A KEY thing when making a thriller or any film is choosing the music. Music can really create the atmosphere for the scene, and if not done correctly, the scene won't have the effect you want it to. When choosing you have to think about CopyRight (c) as the music doesn't belong to you. Music that you are allowed to use are ones that you have made, royalty free music or music with a CC-license.
CC-license stands for Creative Commons License, this is a new system, built upon current copyright law, that allows you to legally use “some rights reserved” music, movies, images, and other content all for free. CC offers free copyright licenses that anyone can use (without a lawyer) to mark their creative work with the freedoms they want it to carry. For instance, a musician would use a Creative Commons license to allow people to legally share her songs online, make copies for friends, or even use them in videos or other compositions.
Royalty Free Music is a popular music license model for producers of all types of projects that use music. With some Royalty Free Music there is no fee if the license holder agrees to credit the music owner as part of the production. You can use the music without paying royalty's, this is where you pay the own of the music every time the song is played.
A good site is to find music that we can use is:
freeplaymusic.com
This allowed us to listen to a variety of music and allowed the group to decide what type of music we did and didn't want. Therefore we gained an understanding between everyone of what atmosphere we wanted to express in our thriller.

We added this music into the start of our thriller and from having a few outside views and our own we feel that we should change the music as we feel its too dramatic for what actually is happening in the scene, this is a learning curve but we feel we've benefited from it as now we've found better suited music to fit with the thriller appropriately. Some of the music we have used for our thriller we found on http://freeplaymusic.com/ this allows you to download copy right music that you can use.
The music we used is as follows:
The Haunting
Another way to get music was to record a song from a baby mobile. The last place we got our music was from a free template in iMovie this comes with copyright free music for you to use in your film projects. The music for a scary trailer template fit in really well with our theme and created to mood/atmosphere we wanted.
