Music/Sound Research

VOICE OVER

We had recorded a voice over seperately and this was supposed to complement the trailer as it progressed. However, we later put in the voice over and it did not coordinate at all: it clashed with the music we had so we decided not to include it. The voice was being overpowered by the already non diegetic sounds of the instrumental which is our main focus in sound, so instead titles were put in to replace the voice over.

CRIM3S

This was a potential artist we were going to use for the main music for our trailer. The genre of the music is witch hop and it seemed to have matched the genre of our trailer being a psychological drama. The first song we had in mind was 'Drawn.' Although we liked the monotony of the piece to act against the constantly changing quick images of our trailer, it seemed far too slow and the drop we were in search for was not apparent enough.

The other song we could have used was 'Salt'. This had the drop we required but the build up was far too long and it did not have the right tempo which conformed with our trailer. This had the element of slickness we wanted for our trailer and the finesse, but the drop in the beat was too slow and henceforth wouldn't have worked.

Another potential piece by CRIM3S we would have used was 'Fade.' The song was very repetitive and although it did have the slight fear factor we were in search for to add to the genre of our trailer, it did not make enough of an impact and would have made the trailer seem drab and quite slow paced.

Finally we decided not to use CRIM3S due to these issues and also because of the sudden emerges of voice you could hear which would have clashed with our trailer

KonviKt

This was a prospective piece of music we were going to use. This was dub-step music which were debating to use because of its pacing and subtlety however the issue with this music was the random voice which maybe possibly have been included in that particular part of the song if that was the part we would have chosen. Also we agreed that it sounded quite typical and found that it did not make the trailer stand out and in fact made it less appealing.
