Music Video Trailers

Music can diffidently impact the setting and feel to a scene I think we'd all agree. It's kinda like a way to bully your audience to feel what you want them to feel through auditory influence. Well I'm sure they do the same thing to Movie Trailers.

Trailers inherently are kind of manipulative. They cut the movie into little bits and smash some of the most interesting parts with some of the most open ended dialog cuts together, and present it to you as if it gives anyone a real clue of how this movie is going to play out. It gets you excited, without really telling you much, and that's kind of the point. I don't think anyone is really arguing that no one realizes this.

So music, this funky little device can amplify the whole trailer thing. Take Suicide Squad for example, perfect trailer cut, with this beautiful kind of shiver inducing tune in the background turns a pretty good trailer into an influential one.

Or Fallout 4's the Wanderer trailer

This short little cutie of a game trailer can make any Fallout 4 fan shiver. All you really got to do is find a neat song that fills the mood you want and pace the video to the audio and BAM cool trailer.

The entire movie Sucker Punch is like one big action music video. The music amplifies the scene and kinda makes it what it is. What do you think about the power of music in trailers?
