I was in charge of making the sound track for our teaser trailer. I decided to use a programe called garageband, as I knew that it would have all the sounds that were relevant to use for a horror teaser trailer soundtrack.
The sound is very important in a teaser trailer, particularly the music, which swiftly manipulates our emotions and creates an atmosphere. The voice over, a feature of advertising, is used to tell the story and emphasise the credit information where appropriate. Like every other element of a teaser trailer, the voice over also looks to promote the film by building our anticipation.
As a group we decided not to use the sound track I made as it didn't give coresspond with the trailer, neither did it reflect the slasher horror genre we wanted. We then ended up looking for a non-copyright soundtrack on a website called http://freeplaymusic.com/.
After hearing the soundtracks on this website we chose a horror instumental, which we believed gave the trailer an eerie effect, also celebrating the genre. But we found that the music celebrated the protagonist in a positive light instead of portraying him in a psychopathic and obsessive light. We search the site over once more, and we found a soundtrack that was perfect for the trailer as it had all the horror conventions a soundtrack needs in order to celebrate the genre.
