This is the main soundtrack we will use for our psychological thriller trailer. We think this clip is good as it creates tension and fits the genre. We plan to edit the clip, separate the sounds and disperse them throughout to gradually build drama.
Finding royalty free music for our trailer was really hard. We found all of these clips on YouTube as they were free to download and use. Other sound effects we found are ambulance sirens, dramatic piano pieces and static.
All of the other noises in the film are natural and diegetic apart from a few that we re-recorded and dubbed over. For example, when Jenny is knocking at the door, the sound was added in afterwards but when Sophie blew out the candle the sound was from the original recording.

We think our main track links back to our research of The Girl on the Train's trailer as in that trailer the tension builds really quickly and suddenly stops for a chilling atmosphere.
We want to achieve rhythmic editing throughout our trailer by syncing the editing pace with the beats of the soundtrack. This is a common convention and is successful in building tension.
This is a screenshot of the sound bites in the editing stages.
