Avatar Trailer

I have uploaded my Avatar Trailer sound project to YouTube so that anybody on any platform can view it. It can be found here. The original version of the trailer can be found here. Neither can be embedded directly into this page because they contain third-party copyrighted content, but both can be viewed fine from YouTube.

The mood of the original trailer was very tense, rising with the action and giving a very suspenseful feel. Rising music and quick-changing visuals emphasized action but didn't show enough to take away suspense. I decided to make it feel more emotional, more sad, which to me fits the mood of the actual movie better. I put in slower, sadder music which fit the timing of the cuts well, leaving the visuals untouched because the action scenes then became scenes of destruction and sadness.The voice-over says it all..."sacrifice is always the price of freedom." This concept has been proven over and over in human history and has been used as a theme in all forms of media. The pain of that sacrifice is what I tried to get across with my trailer.

I hope you all feel the mood it was meant to make you feel, especially if you have seen the movie yourself.
