Decisions over Music...
Our research into horror trailer scores led to us finding out that American director John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing etc) wrote his own synth based soundtracks as did Italian horror/slasher director Dario Argento (with his prog rock band the Goblins). We had previously decided to create our own music using Garageband and had been using "Funki Porcini - This Ain't The Way To Live" but it lacked the pace we needed to match our slasher trailer since music is key, after analysing various 70's horror trailers it became clear that a good score was essential.

You reach the right conclusions but your description of the journey there is somewhat limited. You need to make mention of particularly inspiring soundtracks or composers. By this time I would've expected you tonhave mentioned the fact that American director John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing etc) wrote his own synth based soundtracks as did Italian horror/slasher director Dario Argento (with his prog rock band the Goblins). Music is a essential part but I feel that this information should've emerged in the research. Think about this; these two horror directors considered it so important they wouldn't trust anybody else to compose it. Also consider composer Bernard Hermann's strings and brass based scores for Psycho and Taxi Driver.
