One of the crucial components of a good trailer is a good sound track.
The music used need to have the right effect upon the audience. If your
film is full of action and on-edge scenes then you was a sound track
that links with the high tension.
Because of this we had the idea of beginning our trailer with a slow,
acoustic guitar. Giving a calm solemn feel to the clips that are being
shown, of isolation. Once the feeling of being alone and trying to
survive has set in, we bring in a heavier bass line and drums over,
showing the drastic change that the people would have had to deal with
within their lives. The guitar would then continue in the form of an
electric guitar, adding in a solo towards the end to show the need for
improvisation within this new life that people have had to adapt too.
Music within a trailer will either enhance or kill what the audience is
seeing. The music needs to fit to mood of what the audience is watching,
otherwise it will take away from the feeling that the trailer is trying
to get the audience to feel. The trailer needs to grab the audience and
convince them that they are going to want to take the time to spend
their money and see this film, this cannot happen if the whole thing is
ruined bu a poor choice in sound track.
