Teddy Bear's Picnic

This is the music/sound that i am considering using in my film trailer as I think it will convey a scary atmosphere and the lyrics tie in well with the brief of the film.

Teddy Bear's Picnic - Lyrics

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Ev'ry teddy bear who's been good
Is sure of a treat today.
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play.

Beneath the trees where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic.

If you go down to the woods today
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home.

For ev'ry bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday.

See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout;
They never have any care;

At six o'clock their mummies and daddies,
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little teddy bears.

Film Trailers : Theory

I have been researching the theortetical side of film trailers. As an example I have been looking at the marketing campaign for the film 'Buried' which has just been released in the UK. I thought this would be a good film to look at as it has just been released and is also of a similar genre to the trailer that I will be making therefore I can look at the way they have marketed this film and follow similar conventions in my own trailer.
