When looking into soundtracks Beccy and I decided to look at how music is used in the trailer for Ocean's Eleven (2001).
In this trailer several different styles are meshed together with snappy cuts to enhance the footage on screen. We decided that we wouldn't want to make as many cuts as in this trailer but we would make a couple to reflect changes in tone. We also like some of the jazzier styles of music as we felt that it reflected the more traditional allure of the classic spy film, eg. early Bond films. However as at the end of the trailer it hits a more somber tone it wouldn't be effective to carry this style on throughout the whole trailer. Instead at the end we are going to switch to a more classical piece to create a reflective atmosphere would both match the footage and encourage the audience to consider the film, while keeping the jazz to the scene at the beginning which is very much the sort of generic scene an audience would expect from a spy film. For some of the more climactic bits of the trailer there will some action shots hinting at the plot line, for this I wanted the music to be more aggressive and felt that string instruments would work well. To help Beccy understand what I meant by this I played her some of the music from both the Robert Downey Jr film adaption of Sherlock Holmes and the BBC TV show. In both of these strings are played aggressively to show the violence and emotional turmoil of a scene.

I looked at this article which shows which fonts these different films and TV shows use in their titles. One which is a similar genre to mine is the TV show True Detective which use quite classic looking fonts with minor detailing. This seems to be the case with most of the action genre, use of quite square, block fonts.
 For my first font idea I have downloaded the font Ingrata as it seemed to have the right combo of bold, block lettering and personality. I have it on a red background for danger and violence.

 Our main character is on a mission which she is told to abort due to complications but continues anyway, successfully. Despite her success she is still in trouble for disobeying orders and recklessly endangering herself so the agency director hatches a plan to put her in charge of a team to teach her responsibility. The team is all female and covers a range of different personalities in order to show women in all their forms, similar to in the show Orange Is The New Black. Tonally this film will have similar qualities to Ocean's Eleven however it could possibly have some more somber and reflective elements. As well as the aformentioned I will also take influence from the director Edgar Wright's humour and wit that he incorporates to his films.
 The main Character will be played by Rachel Simons and Beccy Swanson is composing a backing track for the trailer. It will start initially quite fast paced and jazzy and will build as the trailer goes on however at the end as the reflective element is introduced it will become more serious.
