Soundtrack Analysis

Jermaine has analysed the soundtrack that we all thought was really good and would relate really well to the story in our trailer. We have agreed on this soundtrack as it will build up tension and we want to manipulate the audience's emotions, so that when they watch the trailer they will be willing to watch the whole film.

Soundtrack Analysis:

When we decided to start looking for a soundtrack for our own trailer I first wanted to look at my previous trailer music so I could improve from there. When listening to the music from my AS trailer I realised that it was a draft music so we just picked it from Soundtrack. This means that it wasn't specific to our trailer and didn't really fit the mood. So this time I decided to look on a range of different popular websites like YouTube, Spotify and SoundCloud. After searching on all three websites in detail I believed the one that suited us best was 'Epic and dramatic trailer music' this was good for us in many ways. Firstly this YouTube channel makes trailer music so it is specific to our task unlike last time. It also fits our trailer because it has a dramatic tone and mood. Throughout this music we hope to have voice overs from the main characters. Even though this beat is good for us I believe further editing of the instrumental is needed to fit our trailer even better. For example making the beat slightly faster and louder at the more dramatic scenes. I hope to start the music at the beginning of the trailer at around 47 seconds. At around 1:10 the track becomes more upbeat so this is the climax at this stage I hope for quick cross cutting to go in with the more dramatic scenes. I realise I may have to start the music earlier then 47 seconds so the climax is in the middle. Also I noticed that this soundtrack gets more dramatic as it goes on but in the last 10 seconds or so it ends quietly which is perfect for our trailer.
