music and sound design
Initial Trailer Soundtrack - DJ JD Sports "Out Getting Cribs" and clipping. "The Breach"
Below are some examples of the music we experimented with when creating our trailer.

We originally wanted harsh noise music as the main soundtrack to the trailer, to try and compliment the equally harsh and confusing visual style. However, we found this ultimately to be too distracting and maybe overwhelming in the wrong way.
As a compromise we used the outro to this track at the end of our trailer whilst still in production, to allude to the aggressive and sporadic nature of the visuals, and to contrast with a much more deadpan, slow and simple ending to the trailer itself.
The majority of the trailer is soundtracked with this song, again to offer a contrast with the visuals and prevent it from being too overwhelming. It is also to allude to a more bleak and depressing tone in the film itself, that balances out the violence and surrealism.
Final Trailer Soundtrack - DJ JD Sports "Out Getting Cribs" and a version of "How Little We Know"
Late into post production we switched our second music choice from "the breach" to this track. This was because it added a humorous but unsettling contrapuntal yet fitting atmosphere to our closing shot which involved drowning. This choice was inspired by a music video for the Brockhampton song SWAMP, which has a similar scene to our own, where waterboarding is shown to a relaxed classical soundtrack.
