Good Song For Movie Preview?

[guyonthecouch]

Well I have a bit of a dillenma...dilema...dillema...problem. I have to do this English project for my finals so in order to pass I need to make a movie preview on this book I read. Everything is good except one thing....I have no music. Every possible idea I've had does not match the theme for my book. So now, being desperate as I am, I have decided to turn to the general public and ask what they think would be a good song for my book. My book is a sci-fi/action/thriller movie called Prey. If anyone has any ideas would they please post ASAP?

What kind of music are you looking for?

 

[Vegeta897]

Search the depths of Aphex Twin... The solution to all!

 

[Latin_Jones]

Try some NIN or something. I don't know why that came to mind other than I've been listening to their new CD lately. They got some catchy stuff. Maybe some of their older, edgier industrial stuff would work?

 

[Teta_Bonita]

Rip off some music from Half-life!
No, I'm not kidding-- Half-life is in the sci-fi/action/thriller gener and its music is perfect for it. Get gfcscape and find and extract a song you think fits.

Or you could listen to latin_jones...

What is the book about? (I can assume but I want to make sure)

 

[SimonomiS]

Prey by Michael Crichton.

Prey by Michael Crichton.

"And I run, I run so far away. I just run, I run all night and day. Til' I get away"


yea?

In the end.

Vangelis - Blade Runner Blues, it's the Blade Runner theme, it's futuristic sounding.

Or some classical music like Bach or someone. It depends on whether you're aiming for ambient music or something a little more "in your face".

Requiem for a Dream always works, either that or the song from Top Gun

 

[Murray_H]

How long is it?
How does it start?
How does it end?
What feelings are there being conveyed throughout the trailer?

 

[jondy]

Bah, Micheal Crichton.

 

[Harryz]

Yeah, Requiem for a Dream works usually.

 

[AntiAnto]

I concur, Requiem for a Dream works for almost everything.

[guyonthecouch]

yeah thx guys!

Well in the end I ended up using the suggestion for requiem for a dream and...lo and behold! It works perfectly! Thx so much for your help.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Good job. Did you use "Hope Overture" or the "Beginning of the End"?
