“It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing… this shadow. Even darkness must pass.”

Drafting and Planning: More music ideas for trailer

I've just been casually listening to songs on YouTube, then came across a few songs I used to love and wondered if they'd be appropriate for my trailer... 

Bad Apple - Music Box version:

This song is originally really fast paced (I'll post the original song below) but I was wondering whether to have more 'creepy' elements to the song; especially since there is an 'Alice in Wonderland' sort of influence in my trailer. 

One thought I had for perhaps, the opening of my trailer was that it'd be a dark room, and like how hypnotists sway a pocket watch in front of their subject, perhaps  I could have the opening submerged in darkness and I'll swing a light to-and-fro over my face (close ups) and different parts of my body (hands, legs, neck) to emphasise the secrecy, then perhaps she hears someone coming and she goes 'Oh gotta go!' then it'll go onto the rest of the narrative.



Bad Apple - Original English Dub

Bad Apple - Piano Version
I'm thinking, to avoid 'copyright' I could use a piano version (with permission from Youtuber) and perhaps dub over the singing myself, or just keep it with the piano version to give a more peaceful mood. 

Bad Apple - Remix

I do love this remix of the song, but I still think it lacks a particular 'drama' I'd probably want to have incorporated. Yet the sort of 'techno' elements to this song could compliment the 'online' 'webcam' references of the trailer.

Romeo and Cinderella - Piano Version

I'm always so impressed by such piano skills! But I think the song 'Romeo and Cinderella' could fit better with my music video than Bad Apple. If I was to slow down this song, then it could be rather fitting!

Romeo and Cinderella - Violin Version
I much prefer this version since, the two instruments (including the piano in the background) adds a lot more depth and the violin, more drama! If I use Romeo and Cinderella, I'll probably ask the Yotuber if I could use this cover for my trailer.

    I really like the Romeo and Cinderella piano version the most. It's really peaceful but I think it fits with your idea perfectly.I don't think that Bad Apple fits as well as Romeo and Cinderella as its too fast but then again it could be used in some scenes like the threatening scenes in your trailer but I much prefer the R & C which could be used during cute scenes like you and Shea hugging, etc.

    Going based off of what you've filmed recently, I find that the bad apple remix (the slower one) is really fitting for the secrecy and sadness that surrounds your trailer. Although I do find the original version quite funky, the remix is the better one
