Sound in trailers are vital to how people can view the trailer, for example if it was a kids movie trailer then they would want the music to be nice a calm along side the characters but have some up beat music that adults can like to reach a wider audience.
The “Braaam” in the Inception Trailer:
The fog horn in this trailer makes for a build up in the stages of transition. It builds tension between each straight cut making the editing another part that applies to the sounding this trailer to make the pot horn effective. The music plays through out the trailer with the up beat tune keeping the audience to their seats and fast action keeping eyes to the screen.
The “Distortion Booms” and “Stutter Downers” in the Elysium Trailer:
The sound in this trailer make for an interesting layout the first 0:50 seconds the music playing is slowly building up from a nice civilised place to a run down destroyed world. The music slows down and is in the background while the character talk.
Foley sound
This is when sound is recreated to sound like everyday sounds just enhanced and in better quality from the original, for example the sound of footsteps in snow is hard to pick up from normal sound so they remake it from rice in a glove being crushed. Foley is a great way of getting original sound but is hard to do as it requires great timing. Using the right props is also very important as they would want to recreate sounds accurately ensure the film would be more realistic.
Diegetic sound
Diegetic sounds are sounds that a person can hear such as voices from characters or sounds made by objects. Diegetic sounds is commonly seen on screen but can be show off screen if its out of frame.
Non-diegetic sound
These are sounds that can't be hear from characters in the story such as narration or added sound effects.
