IDENTIFYING A PIECE OF MUSIC.


The music that I choose to use for my piece will be similar to this song but with a slightly softer touch to it. A song that I am thinking of using at the moment is 'This Is What It Takes' by Shawn Mendes. This song is about fighting for the person you love and doing anything for them and I believe it will go nicely with the trailer that I will make. 
The lyrics put across the message that I am trying to put across in my trailer. It is a soft piece of music that has its elements of climax to contrast the with darker parts of the trailer. I think it is a definite option for what I am going to create.
On the other hand, I feel like an instrumental might be better because the lyrics might take away the effect of the dialogue and other sounds that will be used.
