Influences on my trailer

As a result of researching different sounds and definitions as well as composing my own collaboration of scary/ horror sounds, I have come to the conclusion that I prefer to have non diegetic music oppose to diegetic i.e. dialogue, natural sounds on the footage as it adds more suspense and seems more realistic to that of a trailer. I have also taken into consideration that sound is the key into creating an effective horror whether that be a movie or just simply the trailer.
