Planning The Music For My Trailer

I listened to several different styles and genres of music in order to find the right one for my trailer as I feel it can be a vital part of a trailer. I wanted the song to start off relatively slow paced and build up to be quite fast paced towards the end, with quite long instrumental parts which would reflect the overall mood of the trailer. I narrowed this down to a few ideas.

I chose this song Diary Of Jane by Breaking Benjamin as it has a quite slow paced but long instrumental start which can be used for the narrative part of the trailer, it then quickens pace which can show the more violent parts of the trailer.

I chose this dubstep instrumental as I feel it suits the mood and feeling of the trailer and as it's all instrumental which allows the words spoken by the characters to be clearly heard meaning the narrative of the trailer can be clearly conveyed to the audience.

This song Not Afraid By Eminem also has quite long instrumental aspects to it bu the Rap in it also gives it some what of an urban gritty feel which fits in with the genre and style of my film.

This song is an instrumental version of Sing For The Moment By Eminem. It is quite slow paced emotional music which I plan to use at the start of my trailer. It is also useful to build up to the action parts towards the end of the trailer.

This Song is Underdog by Kasabian which I plan to use in the fight sections of my trailer as it is quite high tempo which would relate to what audiences would see on the screen.

Rationale for Magazine Front

This is a very basic outline as to what I want my magazine front cover to look like.However, I plan to use a much more muted colour scheme in order to conform to the conventions of this style of film and create a kind of urban gritty feel. For my main image on the magazine front cover I plan to have a picture of my main character Dan with his hood up giving connotations of his character's role through audience recognition of visual codes of clothing, I plan to take the picture from a low angle which gives a sense of dominance. I plan for my title "TOTAL FILM" to be in the top section of the magazine front cover slightly below the masthead. I want the main image on my magazine front to cover the two middle letters in the title as this is characteristic of better known film magazines such as "Empire". I plan to write the sell lines in a black handwriting using an style/urban font which gives the magazine style and helps it appeal to a younger target audience as well as a potential older target audience allowing maximum target audience appeal. The tag line of the magazine will be positioned just under the magazine's mast head which again is characteristic of similar magazines. Along the bottom of the magazine I plan to put articles covered in the magazine. As for the colour scheme, I plan to use a 3 colour scheme involving red, white and black which are all colours featured in both the trailer and my main image which helps create synergy across all media platforms.
