2. Our class was told by our teacher that we will be making a thriller
movie trailer but before all of this I had to do pre-production
research to prepare me and for the assignment. This will permit
me to understand the conventions of a thriller film trailer.
At first I didn’t know how to use the software but eventually I
learnt because my teacher helped me and showed me some
techniques and I also watched a YouTube video about adobe
premiere elements 9 and some tricks and techniques that will help
me.
3. This is my logo for my production company I was told to make one by
my teacher this is because the audience can then identify the
production company that my film was with.
I designed this image on a programme which was called 2D design v2
firstly I got a image of the money on Google and then changed the
background to black then I put a circle and changed the colour to yellow
and then I added a nice looking font to go with the image and this is
how it came out.
To make my trailer more realistic I added a production company logo in
the beginning of the trailer.
4. Because it was my first time on this software I
wasn’t really confident about using the
software so I was playing about and watched
some video’s on YouTube this helped me and
gave me a better understanding of the
software and how you use it.
5. Before I started editing and putting on clips to
the software I created folders to make me more
organised and it will make it easier to find the
shots I need and it will also save time for me so
that was very handy for me.
6. I started editing my trailer e.g. cutting down some bits of some
scenes also adding effects and also adding audio and inter
titles to make it more understandable. I had to shorten some
parts because it wasn’t good shots so I took off all the bad
parts and trimmed it down also I shortened to make it fast and
to make it more thriller dramatic. Also my teacher told me I
need to change the scene above because the lighting was poor
so I jus added a light effect it helped a lot and saved a lot of
time instead of going and recording it again.
7. As you can see in this picture there is someone
speaking on the phone when we were filming there
was some unnecessary sound in the background
which was not supposed to be there so what we
done was trim it.
As you can see there is
no parts that need
rendering because its
green at some parts it
went red this means you
need it render it or it will
freeze most of the time.
As you can see that
bar tells you what you
are going to put the
footage on for example
audio that’s the sound
you can make it mute
so you play the video
and you don’t hear
anything and then you
can add music.
8. I showed my friends and my teacher my trailer and I got some
feedback on what I need to improve on and also I added social
sites after the trailer reached the end it showed as you can see
in the picture I done this because I wanted to promote my
trailer and the best way is social sites and I wanted it to be
realistic.
