In the thriller genre, sound is pivotal in conveying the message of the movie and keeping the audience on the edge of their seat. The use of high tension stings and dark scores really emphasizes the intensity of the film and can make or break your scene. It is important to know when to use sound and when to not, keeping moments of intense score in high octane situations along with periods of sullen silences to leave the audiences guessing on what's to happen next.
According to Videomaker, when editing a thriller, timing is key. The suspense and tension that is built up for the audience during a dramatic and suspenseful scene keeps the audience on their toes and coming back for more. The use of fast paced short clips and quick editing tend to disorient the audience along with the use of intense closeups and hand held camera techniques are utilized to indicate a sense of urgency. All of these techniques are implimented to capitalize the intensity of a well-made thriller.
