Final Music

 
We had some copyright issues with the music we used previously, therefore we then selected an appropriate copyright free soundtrack from Soundcloud. We have chosen a calming classical piano and strings piece that contrasts our trailer's violent nature.
 

Music Possibilities

We have looked at many different music possibilities for our trailer that will fit our social realism genre and that will be powerful enough to match our narrative. We have looked at covers of these songs on sound cloud that would be royalty free and free to use.

Website Inspiration

We looked at the following websites for inspiration for layout, fonts, webpages and other aspects that we would like to create for our website.

IF I STAY


We looked at the 'If I Stay' website for inspiration for the layout as the layout is quite similar to the wix template we are using. We like the simplistic clear picture at the top which is an iconic image for the film.

THE SPECTACULAR NOW



We also looked at the website for 'The Spectacular Now', we liked the stylistic look to the website and the rollover text on a few of the images, used as links.
