Sound/ Music Analysis.

During horror films the sound and music helps to build the tension for the audience. We tested this by putting a horror film on mute and although it was still scary it wasn't as effective or jumpy. Therefore we assed what kind of music and sound effects they used to create maximum effect. We found that the music always begun low and peaceful then gradually built up towards the middle of the trailer getting louder and adding more bass. This connects with Freytags and Tzvetan Todorov theory as the music of a trailer tends to fit the pattern of the equilbrium triangle as the music begins slowly when everything is "normal" and as the equilbium is disrupted the music becomes louder and deeper to become more effective and convey the disequlibrium. Therefore we are going to use this theory in our trailer.
