Trailer Music Influences

This is a youtube video of the theme song from the film 'Requiem for a Dream'. Although the movie is not a horror but a thriller, the music still has the capacity to scare or bring fear to audiences. It is the key piece of music from the film and perhaps one of the most known soundtracks from any recent film. The video has over a million views alone and is composed of strong piano sounds as well as a high pitch violin.

It was influential when choosing our horror music as we wanted something similar but obviously not this exact piece because of copyright laws. Instead, we wanted to keep the piano sounds but slow down the tempo so that the music would fit more in time with the action within our trailer.
