Music Used In Our Trailer

We decided to make the soundtrack for our thriller trailer using the program FL Studio 12, this was to make the music entirely custom for our film so that it fits with the clips and genre of the trailer much better than using premade music from the internet, this also prevents copyright as I produced the music. Below are some annotated pictures explaining the processes used to create the music and a link to listen to it on its own.

This first screenshot is of the main screen of FL Studio and shows the start of the trailer music in the playlist in the middle and the instruments and sound effects used at the bottom left which I will go more in depth too further, It also shows the mixer and several other parts which I did not use as much.

This screenshot shows the start of the soundtrack, this part is mostly comprised of sound effects to create tension for the audience and put them on edge. the part towards the end is silent except for some loud deep drums which furthers this tension, we may also put voiceovers and other soundeffects on this part.

This next part of the playlist is where the piano starts of slowly which starts the buildup of tension after the previous silence, we could also begin adding more voiceovers to help build the tension even more. towards the middle the drums begin to increase in pace and at the end the pianos pace has also been brought up so tension is rising.

On this part of the playlist the violins and other strings begin playing, this makes the audience uneasy and brings the tension even higher. Right at the end is where the much faster higher piano comes in, this is where tension is at its highest and the audience is also feeling at its most uneasy. It carries on at this pace till the end where it slows down for the final title

This final part shows the instruments and sound effects used during the music, it also shows the keys used for the faster tempo deep piano in the green bars.

This is the link to the first unfinished draft of the soundtrack, all that has to be added is a better ending and some minor tweaks throughout.

This was the finished product with the ending much more finished off and also rendered in a higher quality
