Looking for
the audio and using the right audio is the most important part of the creation
of this promotional video as the audio sets out the mood for the film. This process
is key to the success of this promotional video so a lot of thought needs to go
into this. To begin with I looked a number of “horror soundtracks” back to back;
there was video that was 30minutes long which played soundtracks from famous/popular
films. I looked at existing horror trailers to see what kind of mood the audio
had like if is loud or quiet and tense. I noticed to begin with the audio is a
quiet beat and then when the story unveils it becomes more scary like. Films I
looked at were The Woman in Black and Possession both followed this kind of
track. From the audio I listen to I quite liked the Exorcist Theme Song to have
at the start of the video and Poltergeist 2 Soundtrack to
play towards the middle and going to the end but when I listened to the full I
felt something was missing it didn't sound quite good enough but at this point
I did have a certain sound I wanted to be played.
I was introduced to Incompetech
by my tutor, which supply royalty free music, all the music is free and they
have a variety of genres. I looked in the horror genres, weren't so keen on
anything that I listened to so I decided to look at the different genre I went
into “wonder” and I found Dreamy Flashback which would go perfectly and also
another one by the name Frost Waltz. It was between these two but one had the edge
and it was Dreamy Flashback, it fit more with the beginning and it was like the
ones on the trailers I saw. This audio will go at the front of the video and will not be very long. As for the audio for the rest
of the audio I will have the soundtrack from The Possession from Scala and
Kolacny Brothers as I really liked this and couldn’t find an
alternative. I think this will go very well with my clip.
The whole process of looking for the audio was
very long because I wanted the perfect audio as I believe this is as important
as the actual clip. In the end it worked out well as I have two great audio
that I can imagine will go very well in my video.
