RESEARCH AND PLANNING - Consideration of music and sound

After searching through thousands of tracks on the copyright-free website, http://freeplaymusic.com/, I finally found a selection of music which could be suitable for our trailer. These are listed below:
Abducted ~
Army angels ~
Be thrilled ~
Chili stain ~
Cold kill ~
Disgrace ~
Left out Question ~
Nightmares ~
After discussing our options between us we came up with a variety of opinions on which we believed would be most effective, I believe the most popular choices were "Abducted" and "Left out Question". However we decided that, as the music is such a key factor of the final piece and could dramatically influence the overall impression left on the audience, that we should wait until the final editing is complete and then decide which piece fits best with our composition of shots.
In terms of sound effects we have decided to add in the main elements after filming. For example with the sound of the phone ringing and the knock on the door we plan to search the internet for a download of these free soundeffects and add them into the piece afterwards. Hopefully this will make the overall final piece more proffessional as we will not have the background noise of shots getting in the way if the key sounds. We can cut out the sound completely and add in any voiceovers and sounds afterwards along with the music sound track. This also allows us to continue the sound of the phone ringing into the last shot of the title on the screen, without the complication of splitting the clip and the audio. We will also be able to make the phone ring loud and shrill without having the background noise louder than the soundtrack, this will also be effective with the knock on the door as it will be loud enough to make the audience jump.
