Research into similar products: "Blood on my name"



As said in my previous blog post i am going to fully utilise the oppurtunty to include a song onto my trailer so it would only make sense for me to go and research some songs that can be included in the song.

The main factor that pulled me towards looking at this song was the overall feel and beat of the song. Its starts off slow and mysterious but by the end of the song the song is incredibly fast and creates a really effective feel for the song making it have that impactful tone that a song in a trailer really needs. The song constantly keeps you engaged throughout the whole song reading into the message and story of the song.

As stated before i only have 12 seconds that i can actually use some of the song for the trailer, because of this i need to make sure that i pick the right part of the song to be included in my trailer.
The part of the song that id consider using within my trailer is between "3:27 and 4:08". Although this time scale clearly goes over the 12 second limit I'm aiming to to cut a-lot of this out to get the best parts into the song and to also make sure its within the time limit i have.

The lyrics that i want to include from the song are as followed:


"When the fires, when the fires has surrounded you

with the hounds of hell coming after you
i've got blood, i've got blood on my name
i've got blood, blood on my name"

I picked these lyrics because i believe these are the lyrics that have the most impact in my trailer, this is because these lyrics talk about being surrounded and having the "hounds of hell"  coming after you, these are the perfect lyrics for the type of trailer i want to do (the thriller).  
One main thing that pulled me towards this song was the overall beat of the song as it starts slow and gets faster meaning any part of the song can be used in trailer. Like i said before I'm really a fan of the lyrics and the story they convey, this is because they fit with perfectly with the genre of film trailer I'm trying to make.
The entire song just conveys a mysterious creepy tone that is able to captivate the audience instantly and keep them entertained.
