Music to Use

I chose these three tracks to possible use for the trailer because they are all quite fast and tense but also contain smooth and quiet music for building up the anticipation. I used a quiet part of 'Unstoppable' on the last scene of the trailer to try out the sounds.



The track above called 'Kuvera,' the beginning would work perfectly with the voiceover I wish to use at the start of the trailer then it has a more fast paced towards the middle. The disadvantage of using this track is that it uses opera voices in most of it which I do not want because it may distract from the voiceover, also it has little suitable gaps where I can cut it down to the size of the trailer and I would not easily be able to edit out the opera voices.



This track is called 'Vishnu' and contains no major operatic voice. However it doesn’t start off as smooth as I need it to in order to create a build up of excitement.
This track does have the feel of a fantasy film to it by the high use of stringed instruments and the subtle use of the choir nearer the end which could be edited out. The pause near the end could be useful in adding a dramatic scene there but this effect could be created using any of the tracks that have suitable cut off points.
Another disadvantage to using it is that the end doesn’t stop how I would like when Lorcán and Cattell speak as I want a soft background noise to it.



This track, 'Unstoppable,' seems the most usable for the trailer, the beginning is slow and intense, there is a short dramatic pause and then it continues right into the fast and heavy action part of the track which I can cut away easily to make it short enough for the trailer and add it into the correct parts. The part when the track reaches its climax would be perfectly matched for a scene montage where I will introduce the credits for the actors’ names. As mentioned before I have used the very end of this track when it fades to quiet for the speaking scene at the end which is subtle but works very well.





Unstoppable was also used as the track in the Sherlock Holmes trailer so I know it works well as a fast paced and also slow track for the intense scenes and action scenes and fits very well in the montage and credits.
