The document summarizes the author's preliminary task of creating a 30 second movie trailer clip to gain experience using a camera and editing software. The trailer depicted a quiet woman's love story through a variety of shots and artistic shots expressing different emotions. While the range of shots and scene transitions worked well, the time limit prevented adding sound or text animations as planned, but future clips would allow more software proficiency.

1. EVALUATION TO
PRELIMINARY

2. MY PRELIMINARY
My preliminary task was to create a small 30 second
clip of a movie trailer to gain the experience of using a
camera and the editing software I will be using.

3. THE TRAILER
The trailer had originally a small story line, of a love story which
followed a quiet woman. A simple but effective set of scenes which
could include a variety of shots, with mainly if not all non-diegetic
sound.

4. WHAT WENT WELL
The range of shots and scenes I believe were good. The shots
seemed artistic and expressed a variety of different emotions and
meanings through the different shots, showing different meanings in
what would be the film, however, in the trailer, it leaves questions
and keeps people guessing.
Another success was the use of fade to black transition which
showed the let down and surprise between the audience and the
trailer

5. WHAT DIDN’T GO SO WELL
The time limit it self was limiting, so it was hard to get to know the
software I would be editing on. Therefore the clip does not include
sound as planned. Nor does it include movement within the text
screens, as originally planned. However, with a little extra time, and
to get used to the software, I would hope that I could find my way
around and in the final piece, I should have by then known the way
around using the software, and hopefully mastered it enough to
include there transitions and sounds within my final pice.
