non copyright music

Bells, oud and flutes weave Mid-eastern melodies over a driving, no-nonsense beat




Real orchestral percussion builds a tense rhythm bed with sneaky undertones, Driving horn section weaves a complex, compelling melody.





An exotic beat with shakers pulses beneath dark synth effects and driving horn lines.





This nervy, tense atmospheric track seethes with a palpable edge, dark bass chorus and cellos weave shadowy melodies, accented by white-knuckle violin plucks and noises.





I think the best choice of music from the four presented for our film trailer is Werewolf, due to the fast paced hart beat racing music that builds and lowers tension at specific point. Because of this I feel that this music would be perfect for our trailer if we can get the high tension points to fit and work with our footage.

trailer analysis- Jack Reacher

Jack Reacher is unlike any other action trailer i have analysed, due to the fact it is based and a series of books and so because to this the trailer needs to aim to please two sets of people, both the fans of the book that this film is worthy of the books and also convince people who are unaware of the books that this is a film they want to go to.  

throughout the trailer there is a constant nondiagetic sound of a car engine which merges into the background when someone who has been attacked gives an account of Reacher, this also gives the people who have not read the books something to base there view of him on. The dialog creates the  image of a kind of police man from the wild west. "hes a kinda cop, or at least he used to be, doesn't care about prof doesn't care about the law, he knows what i did, you cant protect me no one can" this second of dialog suggests that he is above the law or something horrible has happened in his life to act as a vigilante, this creates a very un-stereotypical anti-hero that is not very common in films. The dialogue then goes to the main character who says " you think im a hero im not a hero" " if your smart that scares you" because i have nothing to lose" this also suggest the anti hero persona. 

the trailer is created with a mixture of fast and long paced shots as well as high angel sweeping shots of a city skyline, this mixture could represent the way you should feel about this character , in the way that you are not necessarily allowed to like him 100% backed up by the first real image you see of a man in a hospital cut with Reacher getting changed. It then follows the stereotypical fast pasted shots until the last scene where you see him fighting a fight against 5/6 men, 2 of which run away. This would leave a very good image as to what the film is about and the genera that will stay in the audiences head.

trailer analysis - Deadfall

After a heist getaway goes badly wrong, criminal siblings Addison (Eric Bana) and Liza (Olivia Wilde) find themselves separated. Stranded, Liza finds sanctuary with Jay (Charlie Hunnam), a family man heading home for Thanksgiving, but as they await Addison's return, her priorities change and the true bonds of family are tested. 

The trailer starts off with a short establishing shot, to allow the viewer to properly engage the location only lasting a couple of seconds, once this is established the shot then quickly cuts to a similar location but with a road from here the shot is a seemingly continuous footage of a car crash. this movement to short cuts and then long sequence shots is used throughout the trailer up until the final 30 seconds where a montage of action scenes are used something that you often seen at the end of action films and something i feel would be good for us to use in our own film.

The phrase "it's a good sign when you feel a little bad" is repeated at the start diageticicaly in context with car crash the footage, it is a powerful phrase and stays in your mind which is why when it is repeated as the closing statement you feel that it sets the mood for the film and leaves the audience with a final thing to think about and with this you think about the film as well, something that we could yous in our film. The non-diagetic music starts of very light and orchestral and builds throughout  the trailer with the use of drums slowly over power the orchestra and replicates the heart beat which reaches its height over the final montage and then cuts out drawing the audiences attention to the name of the film and the cast. 

The place beyond the pines trailer analysis

PLOT
Crime drama 'The Place Beyond the Pines' tells the epic tale of two generations battling to leave the events of yesterday behind.

When motorcycle daredevil Luke (Ryan Gosling) turns bank robber and uses his riding skills to commit spectacular heists, his criminal stunts put him on a crash course with tough cop Avery Cross (Bradley Cooper), whose pursuit is as relentless as that of the demons from Luke's past.

ANALYSIS


The film starts off with a continuous shot of the movements of the main character, this explains his back story and also helps explains the story that is yet to come, this slows the pace down something you do not stereotypically expect to see. The pace is also effected by transition shots in between the scenes due to the use of fade to black it slows down the pace but builds tension by making the viewer wonder what scene is going to be reviled next.

 There are also a large amount of chase scenes shown in the trailer and this is very stereotypical of an action film to some extent but the fighting and explosions element you generally see in big budget film is not shown, this creates a very real looking film as these events could happen whereas with big budget films like "Olympus has fallen" the amount of explosions makes the overall effect of the film seem somewhat fake in comparisons to The Place Beyond the Pines where it has gone out of its way to seem very realistic. The mood and the realism of this film is something that would be very easy for us to copy and transfer in to ours.

The captions that are used in this trailer are; “one moment defines your life" "one decision becomes your legacy" " one place" " is where it all collides". The repeated used of the word "one" creates a very effective flow between very different shots and makes them seem less random. This is something we could also use in our trailer as we plan on using very different shot types and scenes to highlight certain aspects of our film and the use of captions will link it all together. The main piece of dialogue that stands out is said by an unknown character " if you ride like lightning you’re going to crash like thunder" this phrase really sticks in your mind due to the use of nature referencing and the way he has connected a powerful peace of nature to our leads situation. The non-diegetic music playing lightly under the whole trailer is used very effectively to connect the different story lines, the way the music is so light is something hardly ever seen in action film trailers. I like the effect it has for the film but i feel for us the music is one aspect where we should stick to the stereotypes and have a fast paced sound track moving over and under the scenes.

The plot shown off in this trailer is also interesting as the motives of the dad guy is explored and you get the scene that he is doing it for the right reasons; to provide for his family, and so you feel empathy for this character. The way the trailer has focused in on the bad guy is something not normally seen in action films and i really like the effect it has on the audience but for our film would be too difficult to explore. The exact location is not revealed in the trailer but is shown to be rural/ suburban America this location is constant thought out the trailer something that we could explore in our own trailer.

Filming diary 2

Today we filmed the Kidnapped Scene, it was interesting as we got some quite alarmed looks from elderly people at the sight of Christie being put into a car boot this wasn't helped by the fact that i live on a busy road next to a post office so there was allot of foot traffic. For the first time today we also used make up on our Victim which i think ended up looking quite good, but it required constant topping up as we were using normal make up.
