Various pieces of film music often end up in trailers for other movies but some appear more frequently than others.<\/p>\n

When you watch a trailer for an upcoming film, the music featured is not necessarily what you hear in the final cut.<\/p>\n

Often this is because the film and score haven’t been finished, but there are some musical cues that keep re-appearing.<\/p>\n

The movie music website Soundtrack.net<\/a> have compiled a long list of frequently used cues from trailers and here are the top five:<\/p>\n

1. Redrum<\/em> from Immediate Music<\/a><\/strong> (Used 28 times): Immediate Music are a LA-based music company that specialise in music for trailers and for some reason their track ‘Redrum’ has really caught on. The pounding rhythm conveys a sense of emergency, the dynamic pause at 0.22 is useful for cutting to a dramatic shot and the choral singing creates an atmosphere of heightened tension.<\/p>\n
