We present three factors of origin of musical tension-making and briefly overview the underlying psychological and psychoacoustical mechanisms.The three factors, which are later used to identify the tension-creating theoretical concepts and techniques of different basic elements of music (melody, harmony, rhythm, metre, tempo, timbre), are inherent instability, defiance of conventions of genre and form, and the presence of gradients of basic musical elements.At the end we present a reduced model of four points, which is better suited to analysing musical tension-forming in film.
