Whilst looking for appropriate music for my thriller film trailer, I decided to search for it within the YouTube Audio Library. By doing so I managed to find three soundtracks that seemed suitable.
Soundtrack 1 - "High Tension"
Although this track effectively has an intense, urgent tone/atmosphere that is needed for a thriller trailer, my partners Millie and Kirsten stated that they had already used it before in their AS film. Therefore in order to have a distinct difference between our current project and our past ones, we decided it would be best to not use it again.
Soundtrack 2 - "Echoes of Time v2"
This track has a very haunting, intimidating feel to it and is slow paced, which is why we chose to use it during the first half of our film trailer (since most thriller trailers have a slow buildup at the beginning). The opening scenes are our main character Detective Maria Jones trying to encourage information out of the murder survivor (who is unresponsive due to the fact that she is having flashbacks to her escape from the killer's clutches, which are shown as the Detective questions her), this track accurately portrays the dark, mysterious nature of our film and will hopefully draw the audience's attention.
Soundtrack 3 - "Extinction Level Event"
This music will play during the last half of our film, as it is more fast paced and will work perfectly alongside the quick cuts that we plan to have towards the middle and end of our trailer. It will also increase the anticipation of our audience.
//Update: 18th January// Soundtrack 4 - "Letting Go" by Nicolai Heidlas
Found by Kirsten, this track is fast paced however it is also very sombre/sad. We may use this in our trailer during the scene where the crime scene is shown/announced to emphasise the tragedy.
