making my trailer 1

1. At first I was just putting in the
shots in order of my storyboard
because I didn’t shot them in order.
I also had to go through the videos
and pick out the ones which were
good enough to go in my trailer, as I
went through I also took note of the
shots I’d either like to shot again or
if I had added in anything else
whilst editing.

2. After I had out all of the
shots in order I then out in
the non-diegetic sound by
using:

3. The main problem I had was with
the last shots which included the
eyes because it wasn’t really what I
was looking for and was too visible in
the sense that you can see the eyes
too clearly.
I changed the opacity in the shot to
make it darker and I am happier with
what it looks like the way it is now. The difference is in
the whiteness of the
eye.

4. I changed the eyes to 50.0 because after I had exported the file to put it
onto my blog the eyes weren’t as visible as they were in the Serif MoviePlus
file.

5. I put a format into the text on my trailer so it almost
looked like it was glowing and there was something
ghostly and haunted like about the text which I wanted
to link into the movie trailer.

6. I did actually film in the
snow it wasn’t the shots I
was hoping to do because
of the weather I would
have been to difficult and
dangerous to do them, like
shots 7 and 18 where I
have to climb up a tree to
achieve a high angle/birds
eye view (which a high
angle was more realistic).
The snow I think is good to include in my
movie trailer because of the change in
weather it seems like when the girl
takes the dog for a walk it happens all
the time like she is being followed and
always watched.

7. I decided to put in
shots of the area of
the woods like it does
in ‘The House at the
End of the Street’.

8. On the 5th of February my movie trailer stopped working and wasn’t loading at
all. I went to ask for help but they said there was nothing they could do as the
file was seen as corrupt.

9. Fortunately I had
exported the file I had
already done to show
people at home to get
advice and for them to
fill out a sheet to find
improvements.
So I was able to import
this onto the programme
Serif MoviePlus X6 and
am able to see it this
way.
But as the movie trailer is now seen as one whole video, it will be difficult to
edit it now as the shots aren’t separate. So I will have to see what I can do.

10. The exportation of my movie trailer I had done before it wasn’t working, when I
tried to put it on YouTube or importing the video file onto my blog it was
working properly. So using exported file I had done before it stopped working I
exported it again and put it onto YouTube and that worked instead of the other
one.
