Dystopian Trailer Sounds

For the sound and music portion of our dystopian trailer, I found two sounds in particular that I think we could put to use. One is an air raid siren, and the other is a clip of classical music. I chose the air raid siren because it gives a sort of ominous tone to whatever scene is going on, but also one of slight chaos, which will definitely occur at some point in our trailer. When heard in movies and TV shows and whatnot, the viewer generally gets the feel that something bad is going on, and this is a mood we are hoping to create in our trailer. 

I chose the classical music piece, "Ave verum corpus", because it could be used as an interesting juxtaposition to the chaos and action occurring on screen. Sometimes in movies, you'll see fighting or action on screen, and classical music in the background. It makes the clip seem even more effective, because it sort adds a calm to the movement happening. Also, it could be used during scenes which display the "upper class", because it gives an air of sophistication to the scene. 

We could find some other sounds of yelling, perhaps, or maybe a simple police siren, and include them in our trailer. We could use the yelling if we have a scene of social unrest, and the police siren could be used when the authorities are rushing over to arrest the protagonist. They would undoubtedly add another level of quality to our trailer.
