Using YouTube I was able to research
similar products to the one we were
planning to make, we compared each of
Mad the shows with our audience profiles and
e
Chels In
ea released how similar our show would be
to these. We also looked at Soap Operas
but they didn’t fit our audience profiles.
Watching the reality shows on YouTube
helped us understand the conventions of
the genre we were hoping to create.

3. I created an account on YouTube and
then uploaded our final trailer for
everyone to view and to easily embed
into my blog. I uploaded it straight out of
iMovie on the macs which was easy as I
used iMovie to edit my trailer. YouTube
was a really good way for me to show my
trailer to other people for feedback, It
also made it easier for me to embed into
my blog.

4. First I created a new Project.
I named my project.
Then I had a selection of themes I
could choose to use but I chose a
blank format because I didn’t a busy
one.
I then imported all my video footage
from my camera, ready to start
editing.

5. The software on the macs was readily
available to me and made working on my
product much easier. The software
enabled me to edit my trailer with such
features as; cutting and cropping scenes,
theatrical cuts, cutting, sound effects,
sound levelling, ordering, adding title
cards and changing the speed the clip
runs at etc.

6. After importing my footage I began to cut
certain scenes down to the size and
length I needed.
I could then split the scenes if I needed
to add title cards or transitions.
After getting the
scenes to the size I
was happy with I
dropped them into my
timeline so they could
all be played together.

8. These are the different sorts of
transitions I was able to use to split my
scenes up and add a bit of effect.
This is the window I used to speed up or
slow down the speed of each clip.
I then used the sound bar to change the
volume of the clips.
