2. For a professional quality I used a DSLR Camera to record the visuals of my
trailer with the use of a tripod and hand held stabiliser. These two platform
allowed me to get steady shots and a variety of angles.
I used the Yeti microphone to record my audio
including voice overs and sound effects such as the
crow noises. I was able to record using the
programme Audacity, this allowed me to alter the
sounds including pitch and reverb.
3. With the use of After Effects, I was able to create an exciting ident
which I followed from a tutorial. As I had never used After effects
before, it was difficult trying to find out how to manoeuvre the
software application and adjusting to the range of special effects
and tools.
After producing my ident, I felt comfortable enough to
use the software again to create my ‘b u r n o u t’
title which I used in my trailer. I think it worked well and
adds a level of complexity to my production.
4. Premiere pro is a editing software for video
making. I have used this for the majority of my
trailer and with ease created a dynamic and
interesting composition.
There are a variety of techniques and special
effects that can be used on premiere pro.
Although I mainly focused on the fading in and
out technique to create tension and smooth
transitions. I was also able to colour grade my
footage to create a unique and thriller-esc
atmosphere.
5. Adobe Photoshop is a graphic editing program developed
and published by Adobe systems.
This was the main editing tool I used to create my poster and
magazine cover. Its quick and easy to use with a vast range of
effects and techniques.
The multi layer design allowed me to play around with
different images creating new compositions. I think my
ancillary texts came out well and reflect the trailer effectively.
