Music is such an important convention to include in trailers, it builds the suspense and engages the audience, therefore it's a must have in my action/crime teaser trailer. However, I'm not the most musically inclined person and am not able to play any instruments, I also have no friends or family members that are able to play musical instruments, so this made my task a bit more difficult to complete. As we are not allowed to use any artists songs nor take them off of YouTube, I had to find away to create my own music but without using any instruments. Therefore, I wrote into the Google search engine "How to make my own music" and plenty of YouTube videos appeared and I chose the top one, which gave me a site called Soundation and from there you can add all different types of beats/basses/loops and create a tune that you're happy with, plus it's all free and because you have put it together yourself it is NOT copyright, the man even states this is the video.
Here, is the video tutorial I watched to be able to create my own music. (You'll have to excuse the end of the video where he just talks about subscribing to him and replying to people's messages, I'm not able to cut that out as it's a YouTube video and not my own, however I thought the rest of the video was very helpful and would be good to share.)
I am having trouble finding a way to convert my music piece into a video to be able to upload it to this blog post, I'm going to save it to a memory stick and then try converting it onto iMovie on the Mac and see if I can upload it to this blog post then.
