where movie studio billions can be made or lost by their trailers, where gravelly voiceovers that explain the plot have gone out of fashion, the soundtrack isn’t finished and wouldn’t be powerful enough for the trailer anyway, there is one unlikely hero that can save the day: library music.”Īmazing visuals, movie stars and plot giveaways aside, the music used in Hollywood movie trailers is under an awful lot of pressure to carry the message and excite the masses into going out to watch the films. Chances are that music will be library music.Ĭonjure in your head the gravelly voice of Don LaFontaine, who voiced thousands of movie trailers until he died in 2008.
There can be no more rewarding experience for the library music composer than seeing an entire cinema audience simultaneously try to identify your music on Shazam.Ī trailer can make or break a blockbuster movie, and the choice of music can make or break a trailer.
