nicholas 1 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Has anyone noticed how often the music used in film trailers has nothing to do with the score? Example: yesterday I bought the soundtrack for "Atonement" having heard the music which accompanied clips from the film during the BAFTA awards and being rather impressed by it. The music is wonderful - but it has nothing to do with what was playing during the show. I can understand that different music might be used in a trailer during an early stage in a film's production when perhaps the score hasn't been completed or even recorded - I seem to remember this happening for Schindler's List - but weeks, months afterwards? What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Uhm, blame the BAFTAs?- Marc, <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_JWFAN 11 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I bet the two most used movie trailer pieces are the opening to Spirit In The Sky and O Fortuna from Carmina Burana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Uhh this is something that has been going on for quite some time. Nothing new here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 And it's odd that you chose Atonement as an example.....as it's one of the few recent trailers that actually uses some music from the score. And the BAFTAs are a rather shoddy production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 And moreso because the BAFTAs really don't have anything to do with movie trailers. At all. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldsmithfan 6 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I bet the two most used movie trailer pieces are the opening to Spirit In The Sky and O Fortuna from Carmina Burana.Oy... Because of their overuse in pop culture I find that O Fortuna, Ride of the Valkyries and Thus Spake Zarathustra now annoy the hell out of me.

Richard Penna 3,679 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I wouldn't say they're shoddy, they just don't hold a candle compared to all the American ceremonies. It's a typical British ceremony - small, short, and half the winners don't bother turning up.Despite how cheesy, how cringe-worthy asome of the presenters' speeches usually are, the Oscars are much more fun to watch.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Who hosted the BAFTAs this year?At least the wonderful Stephen Fry made last year's slightly watchable.Didn't bother to watch this time after they cut the Best Music category from the broadcast last year. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Whoever did it two years ago (which I saw only to see Williams' name anounced....which was cut out) was absolutely pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholas 1 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Jonathan Ross hosted this year. Or should that be Jonathan Woss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Jonathan Ross hosted this year. Or should that be Jonathan Woss? He hosted the last one I saw. He strikes me as remarkably not funny, except in a stupid talk show kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Which makes sense, since he hosts a stupid talk show. Which isn't funny. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
