Hi everyone, great forum.
My name is Chris O’Sullivan. I’m a UK based music composer currently working on a study into music in film trailers and was hoping to get some insight into peoples thoughts on the music and it’s suitability. If you have the time please read the questions below and post the answers here, or email them to me at christymichaelosullivan(at)yahoo.co.uk I’d also be happy for users to discuss the questions and the answers given.
Also if anyone would like a copy of my completed study, let me know and I’ll email it out to you when it’s finished.
Regards. Chris.
