Choice of music

We have began to think about what type of music and sound effects we will use in our trailer in order to emphasise our genre, and make the trailer more interesting for the audience. We aim to use this sinister soundtrack consistent in the background and to add our sound effects on top to suit our trailer. We feel sinister sound track would be an effective choice as it includes a lot of spooky and deep undertones along with high pitched stretching instruments in some parts to give a spooky dark feel to it. We also aim to use a voice over, over the top of this sound track, to help introduce the plot and story line of the film to the audience. This voice over will be deep and slow, again giving a sense of fear towards the audience relating to our chosen genre. Below is another soundtrack that we have found which we also think will suit our trailer. We aim to play this music right at the very end over the credits etc. This song is called Carousel by Melanie Martinez. We feel that it suits our genre and will be very effective at the end of the trailer, to leave the audience wanting to watch the upcoming film.

To add our own twist to these soundtracks, we aim to use the given sound tracks on Final cut pro, and possibly even record some of our own. This could include things like screams, whispers and voices of characters from our film. This would help to layer the sounds and build them up gradually, building tension and fear for the audience.
