Editing and sound in conjunction

Both of the above media language elements can be crafted together in order to generate an atmosphere or convey messages to the audience. For example, the trailer for this drama film is separated in order to create different atmospheres.

 At the start, up until 0:33, there is upbeat music aided by consistent slow paced editing, conveying a positive, calm and happy atmosphere. However the tone of the trailer changes to something more serious and saddening with low key piano music and fast paced editing which conveys the range of emotions and themes in the film, both happiness and sadness.

The pace of the editing then increases in sync with the music which becomes orchestral and intensifies up until the highest note in order to convey the drama in the climax made obvious through the dark lighting, the gun prop and gun sound effect and the cut to black.

 The conjunction of mise-en-scene, editing and sound here conveys the other themes in the film like evil, death and conflict, the most intriguing features saved until the climax in order to capture the audiences interest as effectively as possible.

I am most definitely planning on using such conjunctions between sound, editing and even mise-en-scene in order to separate my trailer out into stages and effectiverly convey the themes at diffreent points. For example, family and death at the beginning and evil and horror at the end
