I've looked at different music that would fit with my film trailer and it's genre and Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson has definately drawn my attention, ever since at the beginning of this track the music is very upbeat and lively. This has been done by the use of drums, tambourine and cello. However, later within the track they stopped playing the tambourine, which creates a serious mood and atmoshpere, whereas before it was more upbeat. Therefore, I thought that this perfectly fits with the narrative of my film, which is still in progress. However, in order to make it successful I need to make sure the shots are matching the soundtrack, in order to portray the contrast 'before and after.'
Although, I believe that the lyrics of the song do match the narrative of the film perfectly!
"Where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
Looking at you it makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another"
The lyrics show the girls point of view when she passes away, due to her illness in my film's narrative - "You couldn't have loved me better, But I want you to move on."
Therefore, I believe that I should smoothly edit this track within my trailer, exactly at the point when the couple are both aware of the fact that she's dying, in order to make the viewers feel sympathethic for the couple, ever since at that particular point I'm not going to have any dialogue/script.
"...you'll find another" also shows the girls point of view, when she's dying, also indicating that within the film there's going to be another romance.
Moreover, I have a very strong opinion to make my first couple of shots/scenes in slow motion whilst I do my editing, in order to highlight the important moments in the couples life.
