Music

For our music we had certain things we required. Firstly, it had to fit the horror element. Secondly, it had to be able to be used - therefore non-copyright music. Moreover, we had to not just have music but also sound effects to help heighten the horror element of our trailer and finally, we had to find something we all agreed on that would help our trailer become more appealing.

We realised the importance of sound when we initially listened to the trailer of 'Woman in Black' without sound. Here, we discovered that trailers don't make you feel anything without the sound to accompany it. We noticed the impact was much greater once the sound effects and overall sound was added - therefore we knew how important it was that we found appropriate sound.

Obviously, the primary aim of a horror film is to scare someone alongside being appealing enough for them to go and see the film. From this we looked online on many difference sources to find the right type of music...

After going through different websites we carefully picked appropriate sounds for our production. It came about that we had about 20-30 different soundtracks and sound effects that we liked enough to see how they would fit with our production. 

We had to then see how each would fit with our trailer. From here, it wasn't a slow process as we knew quite instantly whether the certain music we'd picked worked or didn't work with our trailer. After we picked out two main songs to go throughout our trailer we had to overlay different sound effects onto it. 

This was the final bit of editing we had to do. We left the music to the end as we thought splitting up the video and the music made the whole process a lot more simple.
