My Film Trailer


This is my final trailer.

Audience Feedback

Here is some feedback that I got from some of my target audience. I asked all of them if they had any ways that I could improve my trailer but they all were very impressed and said that it was fine as it was. 

Due to this, I'm happy to say my trailer is now completed. 










Editing: Third Bit of Editing


This is the full trailer, however until my audience have had their opinion it isn't the finished product. I'm really impressed at how it's turned out and think that I've done a good job at showing my trailers narrative without giving too much away, setting the mood of the trailer and sticking to its genre.













The final pieces of editing look like this. Although I did many more shots, I didn't include them all as I didn't feel they were relevant to my trailers narrative. Also, leaving the shots to a bare minimum grabs the audiences interest a little more, making them want to see more of the film.



Editing: Second Bit of Editing


This is the second bit of editing for my trailer. Although my trailer begins at a disequilibrium, this part is the start of the main disequilibrium, which is clear by the change of music and the way the atmosphere of the trailer changes.

I'm proud of how this turned out, however, on watching it back I think some timings may be out. If any of my audience pick up on this, I'll make sure to change it.


Editing: First Bit of Editing



This is my first part of the trailer. I spent roughly an hour or so editing this and getting the timings correct. I'm proud of how this has come along so far and think it fits my chosen genre really well, the story appears to be clear and the shots really work in not only telling the story, but setting the atmosphere.












I decided that it would be easier to firstly finish editing the entire trailer and then show my chosen audience the full product, so that they can point out any areas they feel need to be changed and I can go straight back to that area and change it without any hassle.

Editing: Software

I'm going to be using Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12.0

The interface looks like this:














This will be the first time I've used this software. However, I've looked at online tutorials and at the 'Show Me How...' section in the software that will help me if I'm unsure of how to use it.
I'm going to practice with some of my clips before I start the editing stage, so I can get used to the software.
