Soundtrack Research - The perfect sound for a Coming-Of-Age Film
Why is music so important when it comes to film-making?
Some may say, the "mood is in the music", this is most probably true. For instance, if you were watching a trailer thats genre was a comedy, it would be unlikely that soft orchestral music would be playing, unless it was done ironically and for comedic purposes...
Many "indie" trailers using consist of up beat mellow pop, which brighten up the trailer and conform to its stereotypical sound. I have watched several coming-of-age films and it's safe to say that s majority of them do in fact use up-beat music, usually acoustic guitar strumming or finger-picking, with xylophones or string instruments.
