3. In order to get the green screen that shows at the start of all trailers I
headed to YouTube to look for royalty free versions of it. Once I had
found this I simply copy and pasted it into this online YouTube
downloader and then saved it to my own PC as a video file.
4. I simply then inserted the file into Vegas at the opening of the clip and
elongated it to 4 seconds the duration I wished it to last for in the
trailer.
5. The next section of my clip as is the convention of movie trailers
was showing the production company. This was created in final
cut pro adobe, unfortunately the file corrupted. But the I used
animation software to draw in the mouse simply making the text:
Thiscan appear behind it as it moved across.
6. Every shot within my trailer has the same event attributes. This was created in the Vegas Colour
corrector, I dropped the saturation and changed the offset somewhat. Essentially the effect I
wanted to give was that of cold space. This was done by making all the colours slightly more
blue as can be seen above. Once I had the even attributes I wanted I just copied and pasted
them on every shot.
7. I wanted my next shot to fade in, to do this on Sony Vegas you
drag your mouse to the right of the clip creating a fade. I wanted
this to be relatively long.
8. In order to make the shot pull slowly outwards I used the event
pan/crop tool. I made the shot closer in at the start and further away at
the end. Meaning that as the shot progresses it pulls slowly outwards.
9. No fade was used here meaning this shot cuts faster to the next giving
the instant and shocking effect I wanted.
10. No fade was used here meaning this shot cuts faster to the next giving

11. In order to make the shot pull slowly outwards I used the event
pan/crop tool. I made the shot closer in at the start and further away at
the end. Meaning that as the shot progresses it pulls slowly outwards,
this was only done slightly here to allow the shot motion to maintain
intrigue but not be incredibly noticeable.
12. No fade was used here meaning this shot cuts faster than if a fade was
inserted.
13. The event pan/crop tool was entirely crucial to this shot. In order to
give the jerky zoom I wanted out of the eyes. This starts as an extreme
close up and pulls backwards into a close up. In order to get this effect
I started close up as seen at the 00.00 position and then at 0.00.20
pulled backwards as we see her eyes. The overall effect was the jerky
zoom we see.
14. No fade was used here meaning this shot cuts faster than if a fade was
inserted.
15. The next piece of the trailer is a piece of generated media- this gives me a
black screen and allows me to do what I wish with it.
16. I then used the text tool to write the text in that I wished to appear on
screen. This I then moved to the middle of the screen and adjusted to
font size so it could fit.
17. I then used the crop/pan tool to bring the text slowly towards the
viewer. Making to further away at the start of the clip and closer at the
end.
18. No fade was used here meaning this shot cuts faster than if a fade was
inserted.
19. In order to make the shot pull slowly outwards I used the event
pan/crop tool. I made the shot closer in at the start and further away at
the end. Meaning that as the shot progresses it pulls slowly outwards,
this was only done slightly here to allow the shot motion to maintain
intrigue but not be incredibly noticeable. This was done in the exact
same way as the first few shots in order to make them seemingly
identical with the addition of a older actor.
20. No fade was used here meaning this shot cuts faster than if a fade was
inserted.
21. This shot was simply inserted and the colour adjusted, the tripod
maintains the still image.
22. No fade was used here meaning this shot cuts faster than if a fade was

23. This shot was simply inserted and the colour adjusted, the tripod

24. No fade was used here meaning this shot cuts faster than if a fade was
inserted.
25. This shot like the one of the younger actor is purposely edited to pull into the eyes. However while
that is a lot quicker and more indie movie like this is slow and steady pull into her eyes
progressively. This was done by cropping the shot into her eyes more and more on each frame- the
process can be seen above.
26. A slight fade onset can be seen here- meaning that the text media
fades into place.
27. Underneath these I inserted a audio track called- The
stranger. This was simply taken from a royalty free music site
and then inserted below and cut to length.
28. A slight fade onset can be seen here- meaning that the text media
fades into place.
29. The effect used on this next shot is called the TV Simulator. It gives the gritty recording
effect. I also again down below used the time frame to insert the jumps you see on
screen meaning it feels as if it is a damaged recording.
30. In order to give it the look of a video diary I used the generated media once more. This was then
inserted over the top of the shot as seen to the right. I simply wrote in the phrases I thought you
would associate with a video recording and moved them over the top.
31. This text generated media has no fade giving the trailer a faster pace at this
point.
32. I repeated the same steps talked about previously to achieve the same
effect.
33. This text generated media has no fade giving the trailer a faster pace at this
point.
34. As soon as the dialogue begins I inserted a more action
sounding track. This builds slowly with the speech and
reaches it’s loudest during the action sequences- it fades
away as the speech ends following the action shots.
35. The entire action sequence of the trailer incorporates fast cuts
to increase pace.
36. The smoke seen here is not edited in but rather a
practical effect used on set.
37. Post production I recorded the sound of heavy
breathing and inserted it over the top of these shots-
it fades out as the dialogue returns.
38. I repeated the same steps talked about previously to achieve the same
effect- TV Simulator, Generated media.
39. The ominous music returns here- fading onset on the
end and beginning. This indicates a return to the
start of the trailer. It lasts the duration of the
generated media and final shots.
40. This shot fades for this as previously
said I simply dragged the mouse right.
41. No editing is applied to the camera work in this
shot- simply the colour correction.
