We found that this wasn't very effective for our trailer as most romance films use well known top hits in their trailers.
We did some research and found that we are allowed to use music as long as it isn't signed so we spent time after school looking up unsigned bands on the internet. We found a website (www.unsingedbandweb.com) which allowed us to look through loads of songs by unsigned bands and download them. This website was particularly useful as it listed songs by genre , as our movie is an independent production we decided to look at the 'alternative' genre.
While browsing we found a song which we fell in love with;
This song was absolutely perfect from the lyrics to the composition and timing , the song is all about trying for someones love which is exactly what chase and cindy end up doing with each other . the music timing was also perfect (after a small edit) which ment that the tempo sped up right at the moment of the montage which was very effective.
unfortunately this song didn't go well with our clause in the trailer as we needed something sad and desperate. so we decided to use two songs, after some more researching we found this song;
We thought the lyrics and composition worked very well with our trailer with the first line being "don't you hid your true feelings , dont lie to my face" which is exactly what chase is doing when cindy over hears talking about her , although she thinks he genuinely feels that way. We mixed these two together but there were some difficulties with voice levels .
at one point you can't hear what chase is saying , when he says 'great' sarcastically' , to get around this we decided to have antar do a voice over but unfortunately it was the last day of the project and he was at the hospital. We decided to try out Mr southworth imitating antars voice , we found that this actually worked perfectly and you couldnt tell the difference.
