FINAL TEASER TRAILER.

The Editing process of our Teaser Trailer

This is our first rush of our video, i put the rough rushes of clips together in the sequence of how our story board fits. This is our complete first draft with no editing, sound changes or effects. the simple shots in order they are going to go. this is going to be named: VIDEO ONE.




I then edited our trailer by changing the effects of the lighting for example:

Just like all my other clips, with this clip i wanted to change the contrast and make my images look darker, gloomy and much more scarier as it is supposed to be a thriller. So on my editing suite 'final cut pro' on my computer i first went into effects, i then scrawled down to video filters then onto colour correction and the editing software i am looking for is colour corrector 3-way:

This then brings up a picture like this:

(Ignore the different picture on the right hand side) - Its this three coloured chart that comes up next to the photo i am editing and by moving the contrasts on those three lines underneath the three circles and changing the colour tone on the three circles my images come out changed and looking like this:

This is exactly what i did for all my shots in my videos to create this darker look. much better and different to what i showed you before.

We were not allowed to use music it all had to be copyright free, so all my soundtrack sounds have come from: Freesounds.org.

i had added a voice over of my main character to it and put together and shortened some clips.. This is what i have so far:

I showed this to my media class and they gave us some great positive and negative feed back to making our teaser trailer. The most obvious thing which i knew before was that i hadnt done any soundtrack to the teaser trailer beforehand so the atmosphere wasnt builded up and was pretty bleak. The titles, green screen and other dates most trailers include i did not have in our trailer. So all this is what needs to be changed.

We put together audience questions in an interview format by recording them, and asking them what they thought of our film and their overall opinion. Here are three videos of three different peoples interviews about our teaser trailer:

In the interviews i am just about to show you bellow we asked the questions:

1. What genre do you think this film is?
2. What do you like most about our trailer?
3. What thriller elements did you pick up on?
4. What do you think is missing?
5. Overall do you like our teaser trailer, would you watch this film?
6. Have you got any questions to finish?

INTERVIEWS:





















Other feedback from viewers we got is that our teaser trailer is far too long and needs to be shortened a lot. The clips also dont build up enough tension but if we arrange around the clips and put a couple towards the end then it would build up so much more tension to our teaser trailer which is exactly the feeling we are trying to create because it is a thriller. Taken this all on board  i can now edit our trailer more using all the feedback i was given and try and improve it as much as possible.

Location Photos.

This is a photo of one of my shots for my teaser trailer. This is the scene where my young girl character is running up the stairs into the room to find a place to hide.

This location shot is the scenes where  'Sophie' is walking home from school and we see a manly figure following her.

This location shot is where Our character Sophie is meeting the 'boy' she is talking to online, for the first time.

This location is the scene where the killer puts Sophie's hair behind her ears.

This location shot is the scene of Sophie's POV shot of her seeing the man the other side of the train station.. the train comes.. and he disappears.





THESE ARE SOME LOCATIONS I DECIDED NOT TO USE:

As you can see these are all more 'woods' based locations and at first i thought it would create more of a thriller with scenes in the woods for example her walking home from school. But Woods are very obvious and i wanted our trailer to not be as point-obvious as 'Woods'.

HardWare and Software Used.

To Make every part of my coursework as effective as i could i had various softwares/hardwares that i used through my process of my teaser trailer, research, poster and film magazine. These Included:

My Macbook computer, This was the key to having all my data as it had an unlimited supply of memory and had my editing suites i needed to make our film and make our poster/Magazine.

My HD Cannon Film/Photo Camera to shoot the film shots and photos:

To hold my camera in place and get the smooth/still shots i wanted i had a tripod to place my camera on:

To edit Our film i used the software Final Cut Pro 7.0 This was a very useful editing suite:

As you can clearly see what your on, i used 'Blogger.com' To put all my research planning and final pieces onto so it is clear for everyone to see and easier to mark:

Photoshop is where we edited most of our magazine and poster.

Fireworks is another editing programe we used in the process our editing or magazine and poster.

Picnik is an editing image online software. We used this site to edit various bits of our image to give it that more magazine/poster look.

In INDESIGN we used this to layout and edit our magazine and poster.
