The document discusses the process of editing a film trailer in Adobe Premiere and After Effects. It describes importing establishing shots and effects, locking layers for easier editing, adding intertitles designed in After Effects, fitting intertitles onto the timeline, researching soundtracks, editing soundtracks, and renaming sound files and placing them in project folders for importing.

2. Here we have the commencing
sequence to my film trailer. At this point,
we looked to sequence everything in
their correct position, getting everything
in line to make an easier editing period.
Here we designated spaces and layers
in which each separate file will be
imported and used in our film. For
example, here we began to import
supporting images of our establishing
shots and also importing some effects
such as ‘Big Hits’ and transitions made in
after-effects are very effective.

3. Here we have the initial scenes that work to build
the scene, such as the protagonist being strapped
to a chair. This is an enigma code, where we are
unaware of the identity of the protagonist.
Additionally, I have also looked to lock particular
layers in order to make the editing stage much
more easier.
Here we had creatively used the police in our
film. This was brought in at the very end of our
film in order to add a sense of realism and
present a strong element of verisimilitude. In
editing I had to work between the two task
bars to enable me to work more accurately
between the trailers scenes.
At the bottom of the workspace was the audio bar
where the sound that had been incorporated with
the action was place, also any special effects we
implemented in our trailer. Also, they were
sequenced to run in unison with one another to
keep the transitions as smooth as possible.

4. In this section I was using Adobe After-
Effects to create the inter-titles to be
implemented in our film. I clicked on
workspace which then opened a new slide
in which I was able to change the colour
contrasts, brightness and transitions timing.
In this space I aimed to designate a
separate workspace to preview the
transition of my inter-title. In this very
space, it became possible to extend
the workspace also of the drop down
options which enabled me to also work
much smoother and effectively.
Here I went back into Adobe premier and
implemented the inter-title that I designed
and added effects to in Adobe After-
Effects. Although the two images are
different, I used the same principles and
tools to design and implement them in my
work. Also, I began to fit the inter-titles into
the trailer itself on the timeline.

5. Research into sound tracks was vitally
important as we had to make sure collectively
we didn't fall into a situation where we used a
common ‘Grime’ or ‘Rap’ track that could
affect the theme and purpose of our film.
Nevertheless, the soundtrack we used as our
first track was one featured in the Inception
trailer. This trailer was greatly influential &
enabled us to think much more broadly in
terms of effects we could add.
I highlighted the segment or section that was
relevant to the trailer and cut it out
accordingly.
Now that the desired part of the soundtrack is in
place, I then needed to rename the file and place it in
a specific folder in order to import it into the trailer. The
file or soundtrack would now be saved as a .WAV file
to produced a much sharper and clearer audio file
which would prove important in the effectiveness of
our trailer. Additionally, the tempo of the soundtrack
had been edited slightly to increase tension and
entice the audience to want much more than what
they already have. This programme proved problem
free and easy to use to edit audio for the trailer.

7. For our second institution it became evident that
collectively, the team had the name Supernova Pictures
in mind and this sounded both professional & gave us
room to explore design paths and effects. Thorough the
implementation of such an innovative name allows the
audience to understand that the company involved in
this production is of great significance and is of a high
quality. To create this institution it became evident that

so using PhotoShop, I used a spherical shape as a basis to
the design and increased the intensity of the brightness.
This gives the impression of an exploding star & something
