Focused analysis- sounds and music

Most people will agree that orchestral music is the most characteristic type of horror film music, the reason being that it is so incredibly versatile. However,the main reason is that powerful orchestral music simply works very well when there is a need to convey emotions and set a certain mood. Most orchestral music has a dark ominous tone which is perfectly fitting for horror movies, although sometimes the music can be more upbeat which creates a disturbing contrast between music and events. Orchestral music is frequently used in horror trailers, and typically uses a crescendo to fasten the pace of the action. It is usually high pitched and has an eerie sound. With this in mind, we will choose appropriate music for our horror trailer.
