Soundtrack

From trailer research i found that music within the trailer was really significant too give anchorage of the mood that the producers wanted to convey in particular scenes. Within a teaser trailer it is important too show different aspects of the film which cover different moods; music is the main way of splitting scenes up.Too find the right music for our production we typed into google 'copy free music' and through searching we found http://www.videocopilot.net/ this website which had packages that people are able too download. We downloaded two packs; 'Pro Scores' and 'Designer sound fix'. This website includes tutorials which help describe how too use what is available on the site as well as describing how too create certain effects such as a '3D stroke effect'.

Pro Scores includes the following features;

• Orchestral Music Tracks and Epic Musical Elements

• Powerful Layered Music Tracks (Percussion, Choirs, Orchestra, etc.)

• Tension Building Elements & Editorial Music FX

• 5 In-Depth Tutorials + 5 Layered Soundtrack Templates

Tutorials were available for download and print screen pictures too go with instructions were shown on many occasions.

Designer sound fix is a collection of 500 Powerful Sound FX and audio elements. The collection includes:

explosive hits, swishes, Orchestra drums, ambient tones, drum build-ups.

It also has many uses,

• Film and Video Game Trailers

• Opening Titles Sequences

• Flash Animated Websites • Film Scoring

• Motion Graphics

• Special Effects Sounds

• Scary Movie Tones - this will be extremely helpful too us.

Too link sound into our film the main protagonist is seen too put a CD into a CD player, this is then when the music starts in the trailer. The first bit of music is 'techno' music as its played through scenes of teenagers getting ready too go out and drinking, this music type is popular and fits with our target audience, this was apparent by doing the commutation test as it wouldn't appeal to someone in their 60's/70's. Donkey Punch and Fish Tank both have used this style of music in fast paced scenes such as ours, therefore this is intertextual reference. The change in music happens on a significant scene of the main protagonist and a boy kissing, as he's the reason the murders happen. The changed music is a high pitched piece with only a few different tones into it, this type of music is commonly known in slashers and sets the tone and mood too what is about too happen. Including both these different types of music may also reach out to a wider target audience.

Their is a close up of the main protagonist, which we have put a voice over of the boy saying ' i just like someone else'. We thought this was an effective way of showing the audience that the reason why the character is upset is because of the boy. As its a teaser trailer, time is limited and this was a much more successful way without the two characters having to have a conversation about it.I feel that we should of used the boom mic for the shots of the characters in the bar, as what they are saying isn't very clear, however music is being played over the top therefore this wont effect our overall result.
