Focused Analysis 2: Sound/Music, The Final Destination

The opening scene begins with the sound of cars which we are shown and no background music has began as yet. The first shot could indicate a film about racing but a few seconds into the trailer the beat of the music starts and we see the facial expression on the main chracters face which indicates something is not right. There is clips of the trailer with the Chracters talking which helps the audience understand what is happening this would be effective to use in my own trailer. When the scene starts to become tense the music heightens and becomes faster and louder which is common in most horror trailers. Alot of the music is what you can see, for example the cars crashing. However their is background music that emphasizes the action which is very effective. The film is about a character who can see disasters before they happen, My group had a similar idea but flashbacks of the past leading up to the event. When there is quicker editing in this trailer the music becomes more intense and faster pased again adding to the impact it gives of to the audience. The captions fade out and softer music is played which works really well together.
