The sound in our trailer starts as a distorted sound called 'Drone Dark Suspense' (1&2). This plain and simple track gives an eery feel to our trailer. As the trailer progresses, the music gets louder then right at the end using the fade out tool I gently fade the sound alongside the credits, signalling the end of the trailer.
When tweaking our trailer I decided to add another sound element throughout our trailer - a heartbeat. This starts at the beginning and continues throughout (alongside the distorted /main/ sound track). As the trailer progressed I wanted to make the heartbeat progress with it, getting louder and fast before fading out all together. To do this I created a new iMovie project - inserting a blank tile and placing the heartbeat sound alongside it. I then exported this as a movie before importing it into the footage below and dragging it into my film. Next I adjusted the speed of the clip (ultimately speeding up the heartbeat) then detached the sound so I could place the faster parts at the end of the trailer. This could suggest that the characters and the plot become more active and stressed as the trailer/film continues, ultimately possibly ending in someones death?

One of the final things I used in my trailer is a boom effect when anything exciting or dramatic happened. For example, at the start or our trailer a series of little straight cuts show a glimpse of the boys body lying in a field, and the forensics working on the scene. I added this boom effect to make the impact more dramatic and excite the audience watching.
