Music Choices

Music in a trailer can be very useful in establishing mise en scene and therefore when choosing what music we were going to use in the background we had a number of choices that we had were from the free music file sharing site Soundcloud. Here are some examples of music we thought you using:

Insatsstyrka 7- Soundcloud

In this particular example it is a more an orchestral based backing track, with its low bass notes and use of violins it creates a mysterious and ominous air to it which is good for a thriller trailer. And the fact that it is not overly dramatic also is in keeping with the beginning of our piece with the ‘waking up scene’ which is not dramatic itself.

Eliminator (Epic trailer version)- Soundcloud 

In this next example the title itself suggests the nature of it with it building from quite a slow tense piece to a very dramatic and epic climax at the end. Again it is an orchestral piece with lots of violins and low bass notes which would create the air of mystery and suspense however the overly dramatic climactic ending is perhaps too dramatic for our film trailer.

Brand X Music – World Without End remix- Soundcloud

Another example of potential trailer music is this, where like the previous example it begins slowly with only a small amount of instruments and then builds to a climactic ending. However the beginning of the piece appears quite light hearted with the major style chords which is not the effect we were looking for in the beginning shots as they need to set enigmas etc. Although the ending we quite enjoyed in accordance to the running/car scenes at the end it was again a little more overdramatic than we wanted it to be.
