A soundtrack is very important to any trailer, and in relation to social realism, vital. We chose our soundtrack off a website which allows you to download free music and soundtracks called www.last.fm which was very helpful, and non-copyright.
We felt the particular soundtrack we chosen fitted our film perfectly, as it talks about crystal maze which is similar in sound to crystal meth which is a drug, and subsidence is all about drugs. The soundtrack had a fast tempo and this helped our film have a good flow and fast pace at times of need.
We managed to edit it in sync with the trailer, and further edited it to reflect the atmosphere of the scene it was over lapping. This was hard work, but works well with the trailer and overall it helps to reflect the atmosphere. This is vital to social realist trailers as we (as a maker) have to make sure we address the audience with this atmosphere to help them get involved in the trailer. This is why the soundtrack worked well.
The soundtrack we used was called- Crystal Vases by The Last Royals. In our research into other social realist films, we gained the interpretation that they too had this idea of using the soundtrack to help create the pace of the trailer- which is why we chose to follow this.
