I originally set out to create a depressed sounding mood using one of the various music programs such as Soundtrack Pro, GarageBand or Logic Pro which are available to me. After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that, in order for my teaser trailer to fit in with the particular genre of my film, I would be better suited to add a track which has lyrics and an acoustic guitar or piano which helps to create a certain mood.
Luckily I have contacts with a few local musicians, which has helped me secure a song for the soundtrack of my trailer. The musician is Nikki Loy, who is originally from Devon, but moved to Oxford where she could pursue her solo singing career. She has an amazing voice which I would feel proud to show off in my trailer as the words relate to my theme. Her genre of music is also similar to the one I want to create for my target audience.
To visit Nikki Loy's website please click the image below. The image will take you to her homepage, however, if you would like to be directed straight to her "listen" page then please click here. WARNING: the music will play straight away, so please refrain from having your speakers turned up to full volume. To hear the song which will be used within my trailer please scroll down to track no. 13 "Tempest".
I have been given permission from the singer/songwriter to use one of her songs.Here is a copy of the email which grants permission for me to use her song.
In order to contact Nikki Loy, I have had to use the social networking site 'Facebook' as she is a low key artist who would be better suited to contacting fans through 'Facebook'
