Soundtrack Construction

When constructing our soundtrack we looked for songs which haven't been in the top charts and which include large musical interludes. This is to prevent any lyrics distracting the content of action and also we're considering including a voice over and if our soundtrack includes lyrics they could clash.
When You Tubing different action scenes we came across a really exciting piece which we feel would work well for the action we're attempting to create: Kick Ass soundtrack Hit Girl rescue scene by Kick ass soundtrack on Grooveshark
This instrumental is approximately 4 minuets long which means it's far too long for our trailer as a whole and also it's only appropriate for the end climaxing action scene. Because of this Mel and I have decided to cut this down to a section just under a minuet which we can use for the end.


Our next task was to now find several other tracks which will blend together nicely to create a strong sound track and compliment the separate emotions within the trailer at different times. We are now looking for a mellow tune to symbolise sadness at the beginning of the trailer this is to symbolise our lead characters sad emotion of neglect as she's cast our as a geek. Also we need an up tempo excitable tune we can blend through to as the action increases pace without yet hitting the vital climaxing scene. To find these we sat for a few hours searching iTunes and YouTube for tracks we feel could be appropriate. Here are a few we chose from:

-Talking To The Moon by Bruno Mars on GroovesharkLove
-Death Birth by Carter Burwell on Grooveshark
-Ulysses by Franz Ferdinand on Grooveshark
-Plane by Jason Mraz on Grooveshark
-A Thousand Years by Christina Perri on Grooveshark
-Too little too late by JoJo on Grooveshark
-Do You Remember The First Time? by Pulp on Grooveshark
