Soundtrack

After creating our storyboard, we started to consider music for our teaser trailer. The theme song of the film ‘Dead Silence’ by Charlie Clouser was one of our favourite choices. We preferred the piano version because we thought it would match well with particular scenes in our teaser trailer, for example the carousal scene. It was much slower and would build more tension towards the audience. It also matches with our sub-genre of horror that is supernatural and psychological. We decided that we are only going to use the first 28 seconds of the song as we don’t need that much of it and it will only be playing during certain scenes of the teaser trailer.

For the other parts of our teaser trailer, when messages appear we decided to add eerie wind sounds as this will anchor the audience into the teaser trailer as it is very common for trailers to add these. It would also make the audience feel anxious as there is no music playing and there is just wind and messages appearing on the screen. It will make them anticipated for what is coming. We decided to use the first 26 seconds of this clip that we discovered on YouTube as we thought it would fit in well with our teaser trailer.
