14. Parody Trailer
Editing
The trailer began with slow paced editing, cutting between a couple of the featured
characters. This therefore creates a calm and easy atmosphere.
15. Parody Trailer
Editing
As the trailer built up, the editing became
more fast paced creating an uneasy
atmosphere and showing the audience that it
is reaching its climax.
As the fight scene began the
editing became a lot more
choppy, cutting quickly from each
angle. Therefore conveying this
frantic scrap.

Lighting
Ivywood
Throughout our trailer we used
soft natural lighting to
compliment the characters and
create this ‘glamorous’ look.

Sound
I chose this song as it would over exaggerate the
emotions the characters are going through, and
really fit the parody genre.
