Soundtrack

The score for the trailer was comprised of music created by myself and friend, Joe Ashford. We created a piano song (with no copyright limitations) and added drumbeat effects to it to make it more effective. The music has a moody feel to it and the minor keys of the piano make it also have elements of sorrow, depicting one of the films main themes in Mindy Belle’s hurt. The trailer will have a lot more emotion in it with the music, and due to the lacking of dialogue, alot of the music will speak for the character and interpret the emotion from the facial expressions portrayed.

We created two tracks with the same basic theme/main melody but decided that one was significantly stronger than the other, and we completed and edited this one. The other track was also completed bt not edited. However, it could be reviewed and later could be used if the film was made longer and could be antoehr track that draws influences from the original theme.
The writing, recording and editing for the track took a couple of weeks and required the influence and help from myself, Joe and his brother Matt. The track is primarily piano based, but also uses drums and synthesisers.
