A2, Possible soundtracks

Just as a warning...this is going to be a BIG post...

Proof that some degree of progress is being made:
I am now scouting the Internet and other areas for ideal soundtracks to accompany my final piece, what I am looking for is something that either builds suspense or drama, or just a straight forward epic...the following are a few clips of possible tracks from popular films.

Whether I actually use these or a totally different piece is yet to be determined, currently I am carrying out a preliminary search...

This is the main score from the well known Pirates of the Caribbean and is one of the most recognisable scores out there:

Now, this sort of thing would be perfect for my piece, it is fast paced, dramatic and well arranged, but the reason I will NOT be using this or indeed any others from this film is simply because they are so iconic and I am creating an unique piece. My trailer would simply not be taken seriously with such a familiar score.

Equally dramatic but not quite as well known, the next track is from the film Stardust. The track is called 'Corronation' and creates a perfect mood of awe and majesty. This will undoubtedly be in my final short list or at least in a few mock ups:

The above clip compliments the slow and majestic and would fit well along side long dramatic shots of landscapes...this next one (Septimus) is from the same film and would better suit a faster set of clips but may not fulfill the 'epicness' of the piece:

Another ideal piece would be the many soundtracks from the film The Rock, almost all of which include fast paced rhythms with epic crescendos.
The chosen track from this film is considerably longer than my time frame and will have to be chopped but it still has a lot of potential (Rock house jail):

Pay attention to both the start and the half way point (Around 4:00 onwards).
Finally, a very fast paced and action packed score:
This ios the main theme for The Dark Knight, an almost perfectly fills the criteria of what I am looking for:

A2, Post 6, Ideas and Concepts update

The storyboard I mentioned in the previous post HAS been completed. The issue is that I'm having trouble getting the scanner to agree with it, so fingers crossed, it will be up for all to see shortly.

As for ideas;
I have decided to centre the theme around rural and urban wildlife (the kind of stuff you would not expect to find in your garden or in the fields by your town), so as a rough idea, I thought of opening with a simple shot of an ordinary house (calm music), then suddenly zooming in and almost through it (music building up), then a series of quick changes that illustrate the wildlife drama that goes on in the area (crescendo) before zooming back out in to the quiet, calm street.

A2, Post 5: Ideas and concepts

I will be posting a rough story board in the near future that will showcase some of the shots I plan on including, but in the mean time, I will quickly run through some of them:

>One of the more ambitious shots I plan on filming is a time-lapse sequence showing the construction of a cob-web, and I intend to go about this by placing a spider or two within a prefabricated environment and being optimistic about the spiders' accommodation plans.
>Remaining on the same theme, I plan on another time-lapse shot. This one however is far more ambitious as I plan on exhibiting the seasonal change (Summer (just)to Autumn to Winter), by taking a few seconds of footage from the same place everyday for the next 6 months.
>Other intend shots include two create will hopefully include animals such as wild badgers, fallow and muntjac deer as well as red-kites and otters...all of which I have tracked down in the past.
