2. Here I am inserting
text that will be used
in the trailer I am
making.
It also appears in the timeline here, so that I
am aware of how long the text will show up
for and what effects I am using to coincide
with the text.

3. I chose this font
because it has a
messy, horror like
quality to it. I think
it will fit in well
with the trailer.

4. Here I added an effect to
the text, to make it look
more creepy, maybe
slightly supernatural.
I think trailer captions are
an important aspect,
therefore adding an
effect to the text makes
the trailer seem more
realistic.

5. The effect is visible
here.

6. Clicking “apply”
adds the effect
to the text.

8. To first start
making the trailer,
I had to import the
scenes I’d filmed
into IMovie.
Once imported, all the scenes
appeared at the bottom of the
screen and they could be
placed in the order we wanted
them in the trailer by clicking
and dragging them here.

9. Transitions could be added
in between clips. We chose
to use a “fade to black”
because it is used in many
horror trailers
The transitions could be
made longer, or shorter be
editing the duration time.
It was important to keep
the background black, to
keep in tone with the
horror genre.

10. Sound could also be added
to the trailer. They could be
placed over the top of clips
and the volume could be
increased or decreased
depending on how the
group wanted it.
Here you can see the “fade to
black” being inserted into the
trailer.

11. Using the “video” tab, it
was possible to
manipulate the colours,
brightness, saturation and
contrast of the scene. I
decided to make it quite
dark and shadowy, to keep
the scene as creepy as
possible.

12. Once the scenes had been
arranged the way the
group wanted, I added text
slides for the film
company names and
captions in between clips.
The text slide could be
made longer or shorter
(time wise) be editing the
duration.
I selected a black
background because the
white text appeared quite
creepy against the
background.
