Sound / Music Inspiration

Obviously, for copyright reasons, we will not be able to use the songs we have found here. However, if we created our own track we would like to emulate elements of these songs.

We have taken inspiration from this song for our own sound choices because we felt it was powerful and up to date. 

This song links to the Internet Explorer advert, we therefore want to use something that people will recognise and that will be memorable. 

 
This song is made up entirely of Microsoft XP error messages, we want to emulate this idea of technology within the music itself as it's very relatable to our trailer. 

For part of our trailer, we want to include a continuous beeping, to create tension and replicate an error message on a computer.

For our beeping sound, we also felt that the beeping part of this video could be replicated to produce an eerie effect.
