Choosing a song (titles are links):

Song Choice 1 – Dirty Pretty Things – Deadwood

Why I like it: I like this song because it captures the chaotic feel I want to show in my trailer, and also there are lots of interesting parts to it, such as the beginning and the bridge when the layers of the music changes, and if I edited my trailer to the changes in the music, it could create an interesting effect.

Fitting Lyrics:  
But now I know that
You were the coward
The holes in your soul
In tatters for all these years 

And mark my words
Something's gonna change 

Why I didn't choose it: Because I feel like its a bit too energetic for the content of my trailer, and also slightly too ‘happy’

Song Choice 2 – The Courteeners – Kimberly

Why I like it: The very first few seconds allows me to use slow shots to start with, building up to fast cuts further in. The

Fitting Lyrics: Who is that guy your with?
I hope he treats you really very nicely
The two days you've got left to live

Why I didn't choose it: Although I like the way I could edit my clips to this song, I dont think the lyrics are fitting enough.

Song Choice 3 – The Fray – Little House

Why I like it: Because it combines the soft piano with the harsh guitars, and that symbolises the relationship between Emily and Sasha.

Fitting Lyrics: Something's scratching its way out, something you want to forget about.

Why I chose it: All the lyrics seem to fit, the combination of piano and guitars works well with the themes in my trailer, the negative feel of the song does also.
