Research Into Target Audience: Music Choice Survey

Music is pivotal to a trailer as it can create atmosphere for the trailer. The song needs to be appropriate as it needs to create an intense atmosphere especially in an action movie genre. further more I have narrowed my song choice down to two possible candidates. These are:

'The Walker Brothers'
'The Sun ain't Gonna Shine'

'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine'  by the 'Walker Brothers' is song which fits the action genre as it has a slow start but builds up to the chorus which would fit a movement scene or action scene. I have analysed this in a previous blog post but to summarise this songs narrative fits my trailer perfectly as the lyrics say.

"Loneliness is the cloak you wear

A deep shade of blue is always there

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore

The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky

The tears are always clouding your eyes" 

Also this is primarily a love song it could be interpreted as a song about a world in turmoil and people trying to cope. This therefore relates to the plot of my trailer. 

''The Rolling Stones''

''Gimme Shelter''

'Gimme Shelter' by The Rolling Stones is another song I have analysed in a previous blog post but will briefly summarize. The songs is a rock song and the lyrics link to the themes of my moving image project

'Oh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away'

The storm may be seen as some kind of battlement or army approaching which gives us a link to the action genre. It may also be interpreted that a bombardment may be happening, such as the London blitz. These themes suggested throughout the entire song. Overall this song has a fast paced' upbeat tempo which would be suitable for the action genre and one I am strongly considering.

Snapchat Survey 

The scene in which the music would go with is the fight scene i have recorded. I have shown them this scene by linking the blog post to them. They viewed each clip and decided which one would,ve been the best.

 From the above Survey's Katie's one gave the most foresight however all decided to go with Gimme Shelter as it has a faster tempo and the lyrics suit the themes of my trailer. However i will do another Survey on music as one of my survey members suggested another song which may be good to use. 

The song that was suggested Kaleo " Can't go on without you " is the suggested song for my Trailer. I will analyse this song in greater depth in a future blog post. Harry believes this song is suitable as he is acting in this production and knows my aims and the scene i am using it for so therefore i will analyse it myself and and then do Another survey to see what my target audience think. From what i have seen already the lyrics link to themes within my trailer therefore making it a suitable candidate to consider.
