Audio in My Film Trailer

Most trailers have music played with the clips of the movie that help empathise the genre, tone and mood of the film.

In the "500 Days of Summer" trailer there are five songs in all played on the trailer;

• There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths

Record Label - WEA

These set the tone of the movie and the tempo fits in with the changes in the story. They are also used to show the change in the narrative structure of the trailer. I will be using the convention of non-diegetic in my trailer to represent the changes within the narrative structure.

Within my trailer I will be using the following songs;
