Soundtrack - There are different soundtracks for part of the trailer. The reason is because the soundtrack relates to the tone of that specific trailer part. The first soundtrack started with Hannibal Lecters family which was at a quite volume. Eventually it rose up to cause a suspense atmosphere amongst the film trailer which creates a suspense atmosphere due to the fact that we don't know whats going to happen to the family and that the music supports the scene with the volume changing every second. The second soundtrack starts where Hannibal is grown up and the trailer shows him holding a pointy object to a mans neck. The soundtrack gives the trailer more a flow because the trailer shows him starting his killing spree and his psychopathic personality. This then brings an attraction from the audience to character itself because they would want to know what is going to happen to him and what he's capable of doing next to his victim. The trailer stops with the soundtrack and at the part where Hannibal is being questioned and questions the inspector the music starts again. The music rises it's volume at the start and increases more tension. Then continues with the soundtrack having a consistent volume pitch to represent Hannibal psychopathic actions and killing spree.
