Editing Film Trailer

To video the scenes and action needed for my film trailer I used my own camera/video recorder which was the Canon EOS 1100D. With this being my own, it enabled myself to record and film when in my own time and when it was relevant to me. It being my own also meant that i was using a product and equipment that i was familiar with. 










Once the scenes and acting needed for my film trailer was recorded, I then needed to edit and put all of the separate scenes and acting together. To do this i used the software on Mac called 'iMovie'









Once uploaded on my computer, I was then able to open up iMovie and begin uploading them onto the software and then start editing the scenes which had been filmed. I needed to edit the scenes to make them the correct length of time and enable that every scene and acting would flow and fit with the scene that followed. I needed to create an introduction also. 





Once the film footage was all on the computer, uploaded onto iMovie and put in place and edited to run smoothly. I had to start thinking and finding sound affects for each scene and the overall footage, this would enable my film trailer to be a complete package and at its best affect. I found suitable and scene relevant sound effects on 'iLife' and 'Garageband'. Sound effects used was a police siren, a women's scream and a mysterious opening sound.

Throughout the film trailer, I used different Title pages consisting of 'Pitcher Production Presents', 'Payback Is Imminent', 'In Cinemas Soon' and 'Not To Be Watched Alone'. These title pages all had black backgrounds for a spooky and dark effect with Red writing to relate with the colour of blood and horror. As the title pages became evident on the screen different effects were used to present them such as zoom, drifting, pull focus and credits effect. All of these small effects make the film trailer more presentable and effective in the audiences eyes satisfying and meeting their needs or wants in a film trailer.
