To edit my film trailer I used the software PremierPro on the

mac computers. After filming my footage I uploaded the clips


onto the computer and transfered them into PremierPro.
During the editing I had to discover how to use all the
different tools on the programme and choose what would
suit my trailer best and make it more professional and
appealing. The editing is supposed to make a smooth
appearance of shots changing to different shots and help the
storyline come across to the audience, therefore it was my
job to ensure that my film trailer did this.

With the clips open on the side I could then insert


them into my final project to edit them.
The opening.

For the opening of my film trailer, used a convention that


applies to many film trailera after researching this using
youtube. This makes my trailer look professional and

I have then used a background in which my created film


production logo will fade on to.
By using the crossfade tool you can see that the image
appears onto the screen, giving my film trailer a professional
look, the lingering time spent on the fade also builds
suspenion for my film trailer.

By varying the time it takes for the image to fade on the


screen, means the image can appear as slow or quickly as I
want it to, to best suit my trailer.

This is how the image appears after the effects.


Captions.

For the captions we wanted continuity, therefore the same


font, the same background. However for the last two
captions using a different background seemed appropriate as
it is the last aspect of the trailer the audience see, therefore it
had to be effective rather than easy reading so it would stick
in the audiences mind. The use of captions build suspense
and help the audience to understand the trailer, this meant I
had to ensure the wording and language would help the
audience understand the storyline as well as being effective. I
often had to change the wording of my captions as they did
not make sense, after feedback my captions were then
changed to make the trailer an improvement. Sticking to the
genre of action/horror I decided to use a black background
with white writing so it would stand out and also connote the
genre action/thriller as they are dark bold colours, I have
also stuck to continuity by using the same font as my film
title so that the audience are aware of what film the trailer
might be. By having the captions slowly flying in towards the
screen also builds suspension.
By altering the scale I could control how long I wanted the
caption to fade in for.
For the scenes of ‘love’ I decided to use black and white to
show a contrast between reality and real life. In Ella Gate’s
view, good and bad.

For the first part of the trailer along with the slow music, I have matched the editing
as well as using effects such as dip to black and cross fade in order to give my trailer
a smooth run and match the music.
As the music changes to a sharp and quick tempo you can see I have not used dip to
black or cross fade. This is so that the editing fits in with the music and the climax
builds up appearing more dynamic.

For editing the music I had to vary the volume so that it built up intensity and you
could here the dialogue. I Also used constant grain on audio transitions on my cut in
the music so the cut was not obvious. After starting out with three different music
tracks being; Linkin park, what I’ve done, Ronan Hardiman, ancient lands and
Requiem a dream, it was decided after feedback three was too many and therefore
we deleted Linkin park.
