SoundTrack Reseach

 

As a horror trailer, it stands as a vital point that we should have the appropriate music that fits in with our style of horror, I believe this is one of the most difficult genres to accurately soundtrack. 

But through our antagonist we immediately thought the correct type of music to be used throughout the trailer would be some sort of circus/carnival music. Although because we aren't set location wise at a carnival, we decided to only use a clip towards the end of the trailer to build the final increased tension. Some of our options I've listed below

Throughout our trailer we decided we needed something eerie and creepy that could fit into more than just a carnival clowns appearance but to also the location around him, outside of a circus or carnival setting, but still to have the soundtrack fit into the scene and to make sense. So we decided to use a slow paced but high pitched soundtrack to build tension,but to show elements of shock and fear that we'd like to involve within the emotions that we want our receiving audience feel. So to do this we will add in loud and harsh sound effects throughout when we see frightening shots of our antagonist clown. I've listed some backing soundtracks below.
