As I was the one in charge of editing the trailer, it followed that I be the one to look up the sound for it to see what best fit the mood of the trailer's theme. Before going ahead I already had an idea of what we were looking for as the revised transcript we went over had the audio we were looking for. I need a soft quiet backing track with an edge to go with the trailers suspense. I also needed a car crash sound and an ambulance siren for the scene of Anna's sudden accident which would tell the story of what happened to the audience.
Backing track to the trailer (Soft instrumental music)
I am fully aware that this music is copyright and that if the trailer I was releasing to the general public as a professional product then we would have to buy the rights for the track so that we could have it on out trailer. The reason that I chose this track was because I like the soft build up and how it had a jump in the middle which would synchronise with the crash part of the trailer. Everything after that jump scene was full of suspense and fast pace which was the atmosphere we wanted to create for the audience until the end of the trailer.
Crash scene
The crash sound was also important as it told the story of the crash and what was happening when there was a black screen on our trailer. We made it a black screen as we could not film a car crash because of obvious reasons, so we had to come up with an idea of how to set the scene and the sound delivered that message to the audience very easily. The sound that I recovered here was short and simple and it wasn't copyrighted either so it was the perfect fit for our trailer.
Ambulance siren for after the crash scene
As we could not reconstruct the sound of an ambulance siren for after the crash when Anna is lying in the ground, we had to source one from the internet and as this was public to download it was even better which also meant it wasn't copy written so we could use it in the publication of our trailer. This was to let the audience know that Anna was in more that just trouble but she was seriously hurt after the accident and needed medical care urgently so that is why we wanted the siren as part of our trailer.
