Music Research

We have been looking into some soundtracks for our trailer. We wanted to use a variety of songs in our trailer to show all the different moments and emotions. We feel like using instrumentals would be best as it wouldn't clash with any dialog in the trailer.

Our first song we liked was Sam Smith Stay With Me. We chose this as it was slow and eases the audience into the scene. We didn't want to overwhelm the audience with a fast or loud song.     This version also is an instrumental so when our characters are first interacting they would be able to heard clearly.

The Next song we chose was one from our inspiration film. This song featured in 'Now is good' and is up beat and happy. We wanted this for all our happy scenes which shows our two main characters Hope and Logan sharing beautiful moments together. The song will feature words as we hope to use a montage of clips. This part won't have any dialogue as we want the audience to become invested in the characters. By doing this it will allow them to let their imaginations run wild and create their own dialogue for our characters.



For when the trailer takes a dark turn we wanted once again an instrumental to add a haunting feel to the trailer. This is when Hope starts declining and becomes very ill. The slow dramatic beats in this song will add emotional tones to the trailer. We are hoping to create a sad experience for the audience to truly make them feel as emanational as Hope as she becomes diagnosed with cancer. The song will blend well with the story we are hoping to create. This also fits well with the Drama genre. We looked deep into films with the same concept as and we tried to mirror their use of music.
