Man of Steel and Music

By adding music to the trailer, the separate clips seemed like they went together and it was easier to interpret the mood behind the movie. I think my biggest problem with the first trailer was that all the clips appeared non-congruent and they didn't flow well, so it just felt like one clip playing after the next. With the addition of music, it filled in those gaps and essentially created a fluid transition that made the entire trailer seem natural from start to finish. I think my perception of the images also changed with the music because the dramatic notes enhanced the light-bending special effects. In terms of the story that was being told in the trailer, it was a lot easier to interpret in the second version because the music foreshadowed what to expect from the film, whereas the absence of it only created a distraction in the first version.
