We have been practising with different methods in order to find suitable music for the duration of the trailer (minus the opening shot, which will feature separate drony sounds, which we may record ourselves). We have focused on the idea of a classical/dramatic/horror sound, as we feel this will make the trailer more intense and dramatic in relation to the horror images. This will add suspense and a theatrical feel.
After researching trailers, I feel that the 'Requiem For A Dream' trailer is quite similar music-wise to the music we are aiming for. It has long images that add suspense throughout, but also fast sharp shots with correlate well alongside the music. Below is the trailer for this:
Within this, it has violin sounds at the beginning - from Clint Mansell's 'Lux Aeterna' - as well as mis-mashed drum beats and a techno feel throughout.
We researched various sounds on www.freesound.org on the search bar with examples such as 'horror', 'orchestra' and 'strings' typed in, although we had no success. We also searched various soundtracks such as the above to consider using, although none were suitable or available for us e.g. the composer is still alive.
Therefore, we experimented with the AppleMac's 'GarageBand'. Having not used this before, we spent the majority of the lesson working different ways to how the music combines together. However, we acknowledged that we could combine different sounds to produce a combined tone, so we selected 'drum beats', 'violins' and 'orchestra' frequently. Although none of the drum sounds were plausible - due to being too long, too mixed up, etc... - we have decided to use a bass drum beat from http://www.freesound.org/ as it has more possibilities. We wanted to use a drum sound to separate the 'classical' feel and work well with editing the shots quicker.

From this, on GarageBand we toyed with various orchestra/violin sounds, and found a possible music piece that would be plausible with the rest of our trailer ideas. Therefore, the below video represents the music that we combined, which we featured on top of our green screen experiment in order to visually represent what our music would look like compared with a video:
