Creating Music for the Trailer

To create the music for our film trailer we have to use a programme called Garage Band on the iMacs. To create the music there are a list of categories that you can choose from and they play different sounds, for example you can add vocals, sound effects or just musical instruments. We thought it would be easy to make the music for the trailer however when we started to make it we didn't realise how difficult it would be to actually get it in time with the flow of the trailer. For example there are certain parts of the trailer where the main events happen and there would be a big build up to it, however it was hard to get this in the right place as you cant put it onto the actual trailer until it is finished. We over came this by playing the music along with the trailer at the same time, this was still difficult but it helped us time the music much better.
