Could I develop this into a trailer cue?

[MJLeeman]

My query is whether I could develop/arrange the music linked below into a trailer cue, and if this is possible, how could I generally start to do this. I have noticed that trailer cues often appear in Taxi's listings, but I don't have the knowledge to submit to trailer listings at this stage. So any and all suggestions about what I might be doing right or wrong and any information about the tricks of the trade and how I might improve regarding this genre would be gratefully received. What I have tried to do is keep the structure/themes unified and have a big finale.

This doesn't feel particularly like trailer music to me.

It's more like orchestral fantasy type music IMHO

Thanks for your input, Cosmicdolphin. I'll maybe start from scratch rather than trying to mould a previous composition into a different style. Nothing like a new challenge!

You might care to check out Youtube content by Mark Jovani on trailers (but all his content is really good).

Thanks, Telefunkin.

Being on a constant learning path, I am half-way through a six-month course with Marc Jovani at Cinematic Composing at the moment, and I believe that the topic of trailers might be coming up as part of this course later this month or in August. I will certainly check out his videos beforehand.
