0.01secs - sound boom to start the opening shot of the city skyline (London). Typical way to start many crime/thriller trailers as it instantly places you into the action of the film. Juxtaposed well with the blue/neon lights on screen as it creates this sense of danger/crime but also gives the film a glossy look. We know instantly that the budget of the film is fairly high due to the slick, well controlled lighting and sound boom followed by the non-diegetic sirens over the top of the city landscape (similar to Hummingbird).
0.03secs - (Foley) constant ticking sound, which is used to great effect in this trailer as it creates tension amongst the audience, which is essential for a crime/thriller trailer and so the 'WTTP' trailer is adhering to the desired genre. It works in conjunction with the action on screen as it is suggesting that some sort of 'deal' is going to take place and that time is an issue. The ticking noise keeps the audience guessing as to what is going to happen next and is something we would like to use in our trailer in order to enhance the overall quality.
0.05secs - The ticking noise is also used alongside a sci-fi style soundtrack that increases in volume whenever we begin to see more action on screen. The sci-fi noise works particularly well with the close up of the 'bad guy' wearing a compromising mask and carrying a bag, which is clearly something illegal. It also keeps the tension and sense of danger in the scene extremely well as we are unsure of who the 'bad' characters are and what they are about to do.
Sci-Fi soundtrack - high cord increasing in volume.
0.07secs - Voice over used at the start of the trailer over the top of action. We would like to play with the idea of using both visual and non-visual verbal sound in our trailer in order to create differing effects. I particularly like the use of voice over in this part of the trailer as it works well in conjunction with the shots on screen of the 'bad guy' walking towards the camera and the quick shots of Mcavoy fighting.
0.24secs - Fog horn noise used to open Act 2 after 'momentum pictures'. Adheres to the crime/thriller genre and has an epic, almost blockbuster feel to it, which is something we are interested in. We would like to use a mixture of different foley sounds, such as the fog horn to create the desired tension we would like to create in our trailer. (fog horn noise is almost brooding over the other sound involved)
0.40secs/throughout - Soundtrack - gives the trailer a certain flow and makes the trailer feel instantly more epic when watching it. The soundtrack gives the trailer a certain rhythm throughout that links every shot/scene change together. Also allows for the flow of the trailer to run smoothly whilst creating a tense and even powerful atmosphere.
