MUSIC FOR SOUNDTRACK

Researching online has allowed us to stumble across several websites with free music sountracks. After using the 'garageband' application on the iMac, we decided that this application wasn't siutable for us, we then came across www.freemusicplay.com . This website provided us without a variety of soundtracks that we took an interest in. After playing the soundtracks against our trailer, we picked the one we thought most suitable.

The following link will take you to the webpage which will allow you to preview our music soundtrack: http://freeplaymusic.com/search/keyword_search.php

This sound track had been created to build tension; although the whole beat has a 'racey' vibe, it starts mellow and gradually increases in volume and speed. The gradual increase suits our trailer because our trailer also increases in speed and tension. As our trailer progresses, the transisitions become shorter and the clips become quicker and snappier to create a similar 'racey' effect just like the music. The music will help emphasise the tension in our trailer and will work to create that hear-racing affect for the audience as the scenes become more action filled.

Here is the iMovie application which we use to edit our film. The green section is the our soundtrack which we have applied over 3/4s of our trailer; we have not paplied it from the very beginning because it does not suit our mellow start. The sound waves included in the green section allow us to adjsut our volume of the music, this came in handy because some of the clips include diegetic sound that we wish to hear in the trailer; for example, when Johnny is on the phone we want to hear what he is saying, therefore we turn the music lower and make his voice louder.

This is the iTunes library that we strored all the interesting soundtracks on, this way we could simply flick through tracks and play them against different parts of our trailer to see if they work correctly to create the correct mixture of image and sound to interest our audience and make most effective.
