I have spent a lot of time looking at different possibilities that could suit my trailer, and my best find is, 'Warriors' by Imagine Dragons. The instrumental version would really suit my shots as it is a very fast paced song which I would intent to edit into my piece after the speech at the beginning.

The song came out fairly recently so I would imagine it would be very difficult to obtain permission for me to use it. I will contact Interscope Records via many types of social media (emails, tweets, phone calls etc) to give me the best chance of them noticing me and hopefully granting me permission. I will inform them that it is for a non-profit project where all I want to earn is the best I can it would be a great help. I think gaining permission now would really help as it would give me plenty of time to plan my shots to match the soundtrack and also allow me to edit it to the best of my ability.

Another possibility a found is a song called 'Brennisteinn' by Sigur Ros (an Icelandic band). The song is featured in AMC's The Walking Dead's Season 5 Trailer and I think it could work really well. I am going to contact their record label, XL Recordings and try to get permission and then experiment between the songs I am able to use and determine which one I feel is most effective.
