The soundtrack in a trailer is normally created by the company who created the trailer and it is suited to the genre of the film. e.g. a horror trailer soundtrack will have a low pitch with a jumpy sound, were as a romance genre will have a soft and relaxing sound to it.
Here are some possibly soundtrack which might be used in our trailer.
The Hunger Games Soundtrack

The soundtrack for this was created for the hunger games. This sound track has a spooky start to it high high beat sounds pacing through it. This is good because a horror convention is spooky sounds with high beats sound within. However after a minute in the soundtrack becomes too much of a action genre which might not suit are trailer.
Friday The 13th Trailer

This soundtrack is calm but spooky at the start which is a positive feature of a horror genre soundtrack. This soundtrack also speeds up which makes the soundtrack more intense as it is fast paced. However it becomes too techno towards the end which is not part of a horror convention.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

This soundtrack is my favourite out of the soundtracks I looked at, this is because it was many feature that link to a horror genres codes and conventions. The first one I am going to point out is the start, it is within the codes and conventions of a horror genre that the start of a sound track is slow with a spooky sound, this soundtrack fulfils this. The second one is that it speeds up as it progresses, our trailer does this so it would match well to the footage. Finally is that it has jumpy parts to it, this keeps the audience tense and it will frighten then which is one of the purposes of a horror genre.
