2. WHAT SOFTWARE WAS USED?
We used Pinnacle HD15 to edit our trailer; put shots in order as well as
changing lighting in colour correction
3.
4. As well as this we created an
unnerving strobing effect with the use
of white titles in-between split clips.
5. We used the shine effect tool in Pinnacle to create this
glowing effect on the normally plain black and white
Miramax logo. Instead of fully changing the colour of it,
we decided to keep the original black and white (binary
oppositional connotations) and to put a fiery effect on it.
We decided this because fire signifies destruction,
linking to the narrative and genre of our trailer.

7. We used Pinnacle to create
our interim titles which added
narrative exposition and
emphasised the questions
being asked in the trailer.
We also used Pinnacle to create
the end coming soon title which is
conventional of all trailers. We
also including information such
as: Twitter and Facebook- as well
as the institutional information.
We used pinnacle to add effects
to our different titles such as ‘city
lights’.
8. We also used a variety of editing techniques such as match
on action for fast paced action sequences as well as jump
cuts to create a intense, jumpy effect.
These are commonly used in horror/thriller trailers.
11. We also used the pan and zoom tool to take a close
up to an extreme close up therefore creating a wider
variety of shots.
12. WHAT EQUIPMENT WAS USED?
We used a camera and a tripod which created a steadier shot.
13. We used Blogger to upload
text, pictures, links, videos and powerpoints:
different ways of presenting information. I found it
quite simple to use with very few problems.
14. We put videos on our blogs through embedding them from
vimeo. This was simple however it was also time
consuming. We also used vimeo to embed videos onto our
website. Vimeo was reliable however videos took a while to
upload.
15. Slideshare was used to upload powerpoints to be
embedded in our blogs. This was a good way to
present information especially information requiring a
large amount of pictures.
16. We used wix to create our website to go with our trailer.
Nowadays most films have a website due to an increased use
of technology especially the internet. Some films also have
apps on IPhones, but these are usually used for films aimed at
teenagers, as they are more likely to use them.
17. We used Macromedia fireworks to create our poster which was
fairly easy to use and put all of our images together where we
wanted them. However, when making the images less blurred
around the edges, we found that it was very time consuming and
quite difficult. This made us think that using another program
such as photoshop may have worked out better.
18. WHAT WERE THE TECHNICAL
PROS AND CONS OF THE
SOFTWARE AND
HARDWARE?
The camera and tripod allowed us to create a wide variety of shots such as
long shots, close ups and high angle shots. The tripod also enabled
steadiness.
Pinnacle allowed us to edit individual shots eg. Using pan and zoom or
changing the lighting or colour.
However we did have some problems with Pinnacle working on our
computer.
19. IN WHAT WAYS DID THE
TECHNOLOGY CONSTRAIN OR
ENABLE THE PRODUCTION TO BE
DEVELOPED?
We had some small problems using
Pinnacle as it kept on closing without saving
our work. However we solved this by making
sure we saved our work more regularly.
