in our film trailers we are given a limit of 15 seconds for copyrighted music so it is important that i use the right music for the 15 seconds. i currently have no plans of using any mainstream music that includes lyrics so i am looking into using instrumental versions of songs.
i want to use instrumental music because it gives the song and story a whole new meaning when you don't have someone talking over the music, as the song is about not giving up on someone you love but by taking the lyrics away it makes the audience give the song a new meaning and with the right shots behind it they will be able to make the connection. one of the instrumental songs ive looked at is the opening to the instrumental version of say something. if i was going to use this i would probably use it for the whole 15 seconds but i will need to check if i can use the song for longer than 15 seconds because the creator of the video has given permission for people to download the instrumental from his sound cloud account.
as i said in a previous blog post i plan to have a short phone call at the start of my trailer whilst the film indents and certification screen are being displayed. my plan is to play this song at the start of the trailer after the film indents and certification when the opening shot of the friends walking along the path. in my last blog post i talked about the idea of creating a reason why the group go for a walk and i think that if i use the idea that they are going to investigate if the woods are haunted then the music will go extremely well with the plot. my reasons behind this is because the song itself is already quite sad and having the repeated piano key gives it a creepy feel.
