Trailer Soundtrack

With regards to the music and sounds for the trailer I composited my own sounds as well as used websites such as SoundDogs (www.sounddogs.com) for the backing track and then composited the sounds together using After Effects. The sound for this trailer was more complex than the sounds I had composited previously as they needed to match the timing of the moments in the trailer and the length of the trailer itself.
To enable the sounds to fit the trailer I had to speed the backing track up and lower the volume at points where I wanted the boom sound effect of the writing appearing on screen. This was complicated as it often did not correspond with the music that was happening in the backing music. To solve this I had to ensure the music started at a different point so that it reached those milestones in the trailer when I needed them to .
After a great deal of attempts with different sounds and backing music I created a track that I thought complimented the imagery of the trailer.
