Music

We decided that throughout our film trailer we wanted a ‘backing track’ of music to be played as we thought this would give our trailer character and some depth. We decided that we wanted a track that was quite eerie as we had looked at other film trailers that had used children laughing in them, this portrays innocence. We researched into 1970s records that we could find on vinyl as we thought the sound of a crackling song would be eerie.

We researched on YouTube 1970’s vinyl to find some songs that we might like, and then we thought we could go to charity shops or music shops like HMV to find the song we wanted on vinyl.

The Beach Boys- Wouldn’t it be nice: we didn’t think this song had the right impact that we wanted as we thought the chime bit at the start would work well, however we found it too jolly and not how we remembered it.

John Lennon- Imagine: However this track was too sad and too fast for what we wanted, therefore we didn’t think this was the right track for what we wanted it to do.

The Beatles- Here comes the sun: Again this song was happier and faster than what we remembered it to be. Again this isn’t what we wanted as we wanted a strange kind of scary song.

Elvis Presley- Love me tender: we thought this song was perfect because of the kind of song it was, it was slow and a innocent kind of happy, I have the inside of a music box that played this song so I played it to the others and we all agreed that the sound the music box chimes gave were perfect as we could control the speed that it was recorded and could also control the volume of the track.

 

In our final decision we decided that we would use my music box and record it on Adobe Audition this way we could edit the length and volume of the tack as well as the speed.
