UPDATE: Soundtrack Second Draft

Today I received another update from Alex:


His message is shown left, where he describes how he attempted to synchronise the hand dropping with the piano note as we suggested. Below is the second draft video...

Tia and I think this version is a lot better; in particular we like how the style is more discordant, such as where the character Connor turns his head and the piano note is off-key and then has a distorted reverse effect. We can also see that he took our comment about the drums into account and are pleased with the result, although he says he wasn't concentrating on the montage part and the drums will be a lot more intense once he does. In short, we definitely prefer this version. However, some elements I would like to see improved upon and which I will bring up with him are that the montage drums again aren't quite strong enough and I feel that the synths/music during the montage and how they only last ten or so seconds before they're cut off for the voice-over's "Expect us" line make it a bit short-lived, so I'm wondering if it really fits. Additionally, I will suggest a reverberation effect similar to the one in the first second of the trailer when the Lionsgate logo appears because I think it sounds really ominous and would be a good way to fade out the trailer. Apart from this, we both love it and can't wait for the next update.
