Trailer Analysis: Sully Theatrical Trailer (2016) - Sound Research

The trailer opens with soft non diegetic sound that sets the tranquil tone for the first part of the trailer. This music portrays the sound of a piano juxta-posing what is expected with the tense narrative and the contrasting the calming music. The music progresses at a content and steady pace opening with a soft tone and then increasing in tempo throughout the trailer resulting in a crescendo.

The non-diegetic sound that we are first exposed to fades out when we are introduced to the voice over of the authoritative figure - the pilot. Due to the fact that the voice over is a fuzzy sound, this resembles a real life voice over from a pilot that you would experience on a plane, resembling the realism of the film - enticing the targeted demographic to watch the film.

It is evident from this trailer that a variety of sound techniques as well as dialogue that will accompany the cinematography fittingly. At this stage, I am still not certain on the genre of the film however I am contemplating making a Chick Flick with a seasonal theme of Christmas, therefore it will be important for me to carefully make and manipulate some music that will fit this genre.
