This trailer begins with an upbeat happy score, giving the viewer a false aspect of what the film is going to be about, almost settling the viewer in and attaching them to the screen, making it easier to scare them later on in the trailer. The upbeat score then comes to a stop when the group arrive at a petrol station, the music then becomes much more tense and very slow paced. There is also an increase in lots of sudden beats, to emphasize the shock on screen. The loud sudden kick-drum sounds also occur just as the titles appear on screen, describing what is happening. This is an idea which I may interpret into the trailer with my group. The pace of the music increases as the trailer progresses on, whilst the music increases the trailer shows much more horrific shots around the time of 1:21. A music artist then appears in a scream singing voice, adding the panic and unorganisation that is occurring on the screen. This is telling me that the sound should impact what is happening on screen, just like the sound effects do, for example the screeching of the tyres and the smashing of the glass.
This trailer is a lot different than the first in regards to sound. For one it doesn't have a score, meaning it wanted to stray away from the cinematic aspects and try to make it appear as real as possible. This may be ideal to us due to the fact that the equipment we have won't be able to make the trailer appear truly cinematic, meaning I could take a lot of inspiration from this. This trailer focuses much more on the sound effects as oppose to a soundtrack. The sound effects appear not all at once, so that the silence makes you feel much more on edge, then the sudden sound effect will shock you and make you jump, which is what is ideally wanted from a horror trailer. However, even though there isn't a soundtrack there is an eerie noise in the background throughout the trailer, again emphasizing the horror throughout the trailer.
