  What is amusical film? A musical film has been defined as... "A film genre in which songs sung by the characters are interwoven into the narrative, sometimes accompanied by dancing. The songs usually advance the plot or develop the film's characters, though in some cases they serve merely as breaks in the storyline, often as elaborate "production numbers."

  Could I producea musical film trailer? Producing a musical film trailer would be a very fun task, however, with my film trailer not being able to use any form of copyrighted music I would have to compose it myself, this may prove a challenging task as I am not musically talented. Casting this trailer would be the most challenging task in production as I would need to find not only actors, but singers/dancers as well as musicians who are willing to have their music used in my trailer.
