3.  In order to achieve a professional finish to my horror trailer I will need
to carry out some stages of post-production. Cutting the footage will
be a big part of my post-production as I want to make sure that only
the most suitable clips feature in my final trailer to achieve a
professional feel. I will also need to add sound as this can change
the mood of a piece of footage and build tension, which is very
important in a horror trailer. Achieving the correct editing between
takes will need to happen as I want to make sure I get slow pace
areas as well as fast pace areas. I will need to add in fades and blink
eye editing. The other important part of my post-production will be
correcting lighting. Lighting is a vital part of horror trailer as it can
really set the mood and dramatic change the atmosphere. I will
need to adjust the hue of my footage to match the type of
atmosphere i want and possibly add filters to my clips.
