The document describes the process of editing a film trailer. It discusses organizing clips, selecting favorites to upload to editing software. Clips are viewed and shortened as needed to edit more quickly. Effects like brightness, sharpening, contrast are added to clips. Shots include introductions of characters, them walking and talking, a montage of escape shots with effects added, shots inside a house with low contrast and brightness. A soundtrack is imported and text is added between clips to help understand and read between the lines. At the end, the film trailer name and details are faded out along with the sound.
2. I first started by choosing all my clips that I
recorded and copying them to a new folder.
Once I have organised my work I
selected all my favourite clips and
upload it to the editing software.
Once i have my clips I will view all of
them and shorten which ones I need to
and delete the rest in order to edit
quicker.
24th march I transferred all my work from the
schools camera to my hard drive.
3. Here on the timeline is
where the clips of the
film trailer goes. First I
added the institutional
logo. It did so the
audience understands
who we are.
By doing this I had to
chosen the colour red
because it represents
death and at the end of
this film I will convey this .
as well as more appealing
to the audience and more
thrilling.
4. Next I have chosen to add the
scene where Naim and kimo’s
character are introduced next
to Denton. Which was a long
shot. I added to the clip high
brightness, sharpen and low
contrast. I speeded up this
shot so we can see it more
quicker as well as making it
look good for the next shot.
Next I have chosen to add the
clip where Naim and kimo’s
character leave Denton to go
home. This is a long shot of
the two walking and shaking
hands. I added to the clip low
brightness, sharpen and slow
contrast. I did shorten this clip
into three parts to make the
shot quicker.
5. This shot will be Naim and kimo’s
character talking about the dead
boy. This is was a mid shot so the
audience. I added to the clip low
brightness, sharpen and high
contrast. I did shorten this clip into
one part so that we can only hear
the most important bit of the
conversation.
The next shot added was kimo’s
character be followed by my
character. This is was a two shots so
the first one was a close up of my
hand and the next shot was the long
shot of kimo and niams’ character
leaving. I added to the clip high
brightness, sharpen, colour effects
and contrast. I used those effects
because I need to make my
character more darkish and
dangerous. I
6. The next few shots was the
fast montage shots. Which
was a combination of mid
shots, long shots and extreme
long shots. I used a
combination of effects such
as blur, brightness control,
contrast control ,colour
change, speed change, shot
shorten and bevel edges.
These shots will be of kimo’s
character captured as he
escapes I have a perfect shot
which shows the criminal has
actually left him but is where
her cant see him. This shot Is
a mid shot of kimo as I'm
posted on the wall waiting.
7. The next few shots are in naim’s
house to show naim is okay for now.
This will show shots of kimo at the
door, and in naim’s house. These
shots are mid shots, long shots and
close ups. I used low contrast and
low brightness because we was
inside and the lighting was good
enough. I did shortened this clips in
order to stay in the timeline.
After these shots will be of my
character who followers kimo’s
character and waits outside to the
door for them with a knife. This was
a simple shot which was a mid shot
of boths of my body ( top half first
knocking the door and bottom half
second with a knife) the effects I
applied was the shadow creater,
sharpen, low brightness and low
contrast.
8. • Once I have
organised my clips
together I need a
soundtrack to suit
this thriller trailer
which is not calm
but more heart
pumping. As I found
it from YouTube I
simply imported it
and dragged it
along my timeline.
9. • As you can see In
most of movie I
have put in a lot of
text which is put
between the clips to
help people
understand more
and to read
between the lines.
This Is known as
inter titles, I had to
adjust it my movie
so I pick red in big
bold size. this was
found in the entire
film (from beginning
to the end)
• At the end I put up
the film trailer
name, details on
when It will come
out. I faded it out as
well as the sound.
