Music - Planning


For our trailer we are going to use two tracks throughout the whole thing. We wanted to use a fairly slow track at the start of a trailer, something classical or piano type music. This is because we want to ease in the audience from the start and not just chuck them straight into the deep end, by doing this it relaxes the audience and makes it easier for them to watch. This then sets up the rest of the narrative for the trailer. Then as the trailer advances it will start to pick up pace and become more serious, the music track will change and the beat will become progressively faster. This will be synchronous with the inter titles and transitions along with the soundtrack staying with the pace of the editing towards the end of the trailer, this feature will also build suspense. This is similar to the "1408" trailer. We have decided to use an "eerie" piece of music as it is a common convention of the genre and stereotypical so it makes it clear to the audience.  

Updated - We have now since found music for our trailer, we used a website called free play music to pick a couple of tracks to go over our footage. The non diegetic track will be played at the start and then fade out for minimal dialogue then a second soundtrack will start to play. These are the tracks we have found for our film all by the composer Jason Bradley Livesay: 

- Nightprowler 
- Nightprowler (Reprise)
- Outbreak 
- Wrongful Payback
