Different composers can create very distinct musical palettes for a film of this nature,” Clinton Cerejo says while responding to our question on the changing trends in score- composition for psychological thrillers. He discusses how Thomas Newman’s play with “organic elements to create moods” in American Beauty, differs from the use of synths in The Social Network, when making his case. “Sonically, they are significantly different, even though they try to achieve the same objective.” It is eventually the discussion with the film’s director that, he believes, sets the scene for a composer.
“You can capture emotions if you decipher the crux of what [the film should highlight],” says Cerejo, who created the score of Kartik Aaryan’s Freddy, a psychological thriller that follows a dentist who becomes unhinged after being short-changed in love. “Shashanka Ghosh wanted to outline this character of a doctor. I wanted to use the ukulele to create a simple melody to serve as the thematic idea. We wanted to keep repeating it because [we wanted him to come across as] someone who is not multi-layered. In a psychological thriller, the music sets the listener up for something that is intriguing — the listener should feel that there is something going on in the horizon,” says Cerejo, highlighting that Newman’s film, and Eyes Wide Shut were two projects whose scores have stayed with him.
