The document discusses the process of creating and editing a trailer for a film project in Premiere Pro. Scenes were captured, arranged in order, and then rearranged by jumping between "her normal life" and "her life when she was captured" to intrigue audiences. Effects like lighting adjustments and cross dissolves between scenes were added to create an uneasy feeling. Sound effects were also layered in to enhance some scenes. Finally, the trailer was exported in the correct format for uploading to YouTube.
2. • When I was capturing my film
on Premiere Pro, I cut the
scenes into appropriate places
which was saved on the left
hand side.
• after capturing my scenes, I
then used the scenes I wanted
to use and dragged it into the
video and audio rows.
• At first I placed each scenes
into order which was very
linear and boring.
• Trailers jump from different
scenes which build action
however I have not done this.
3. • i decided to change the
order of my trailer and
reverse the order which
we challenge conventions
of trailer and make my
trailer stand out from the
rest of the market.
• This was a very difficult
process and half way
through I decided to
scrap that idea and jump
from in her normal life to
her life when she is
captured. This will
challenge conventions.
4. • As I said in the slide before I
decided to mix up my scenes
and do her in her normal life
then the life when she was
captured.
• This will intrigue the audience
and keep them lock on
watching my trailer
• This trailer but we confusing
but easy to pick up what the
trailer is about because it is the
same actress throughout the
trailer.
• Challenging the trailer by
contrasting the scenes will
have a bigger impact.
5. • After sorting out my
trailer and decided where
to put each scene I
decided to save an image
of green screen to follow
conventions of an trailer.
• I placed it at the
beginning of my trailer
and had it played for
about 3 seconds, the
duration of my green
screen is conventional
and gives the audience to
settle down and be ready
to watch the trailer.
6. • I decided to choose Cloverfield
institutional references of
Paramount and Bad Robot
because Paramount is one of the
largest movie studios.
• The Watcher is a thriller so I
wanted to choose a production
company which does thrillers.
• On Wikipedia I saw that
Cloverfield and Paranormal
Activity 4 is under Paramount
Pictures which were prefect
example of the film I am doing.
• Also on the institutional reference
it has the shaking effect which will
tie well with my trailer because it
is scary and in the kidnapping
scenes it is a hand held camera.
7. • Some of the scenes I have shot, the lighting was not very
good so I’ve added a video effect called ‘lighting effect’
which will automatic adjust the lighting.
• i couldn’t do much with the lighting so I slightly brighten
up the scene.
• After playing around with the lighting it become quite
scratchy. I decided to leave it like this because it gives the
audience a feeling of uneasy.
8. • For each scene I added a video transition, the
transition was called cross dissolve.
• The effect adds spookiness and connotes
someone blinding for each scenes like some
sort of horrible memory.
9. • As you can see in the
audio 1, I have lowered
some scene which was
the original sounds of
when I was filming and
added sound effects.
• For this one I’ve added a
knife sharpening sound
with the scene to make
the audience think she
can hear rattle of knives.
• It creates verisimilitude
to my trailer.
10. • When I finished my
trailer I had to export
my media.
• It could up with a
window (below right), I
had to changed the
format in Window
Media so I can upload
it onto Youtube.
• I had to make sure the
Source Range was the
entire sequence and
not current scene.
