We decided from the beginning that we wanted a soundtrack which would accompany the action appropriately at all times. Because of this we knew that we would have to create our own soundtrack with different songs merged together. There were many things that we knew we wanted to do straight away:
- Use a variety of songs
- Use different songs with a wide range of tempos, textures and rhythms.
- Not use any really popular songs
- Make smooth transitions
- Make sure that they accompany the action and help to pace the story
We began searching for some songs that we could use in our trailer. We didn't want to use any songs are in the charts at the moment as we both feel that if someone recognised the song then it might distract them from watching the actual trailer. One of the first songs that we thought of, was this song, which is Never Shout Never's - Liar Liar. We liked the instrumental part of this song at 0:22 right up until 0:31. We thought that this music would demonstrate how our trailer is supposed to be a light hearted movie, but with a bit of a serious twist nearer the end. This music would be used for the beginning part before she discovers her superpowers.
We have also thought about using the sound score from the hit movie Kick Ass as well. We are going to use the bit where Hit Girl rescuse Big Daddy, as we feel we could use this near the end of the trailer when all of the action is happening, as this would accompany it well.
We won't be using all of this music in our soundtrack, as it is 4 minutes long, however we can cut little snippets of it that we like.
