Sound and Music

The sounds within a trailer or even the movie itself are extremely important. They create tension in a thriller, a happy feeling in a fantasy and set the feeling of love in a romantic film. Not only is it the actors/actresses job to create the tension but also the music, lighting, mise-en-scene and sound bites. These elements need to be accurate and all work together to help the audience feel anxious and be just as afraid as the characters within the movie.
The sound levels also help to create the tension of the movie as usually the sound would get louder as someone/something gets closer to the character. Footsteps and the sound of a heartbeat racing could also be added to create the feeling of realism and putting the audience in the characters place.

Storyboard (First Draft)


We produced a quick storyboard of ideas for our trailer (above).
