2. • The main editing software used for our trailer was Premiere
Pro. This was where we made most of the cuts, transitions,
titles, effects etc. Using Premiere Pro was fairly
straightforward and allowed us to make our trailer look quite
professional due to being able to create features such as an
increase in editing pace and a smooth transition between
cuts. Using Premiere over simpler software such as iMovie
gave us a much better chance of creating a product of high
quality. Within this PowerPoint, you can see the basics of
Premiere and some of the features we used.

4. You are then led to
this screen which is
your workshop
where you will do
all your editing
Here is where we
imported our DSLR

begin editing it

5. Here is where you get
your editing options.
We used Audio effects
to make changes to our
trailers music. Such as
some of the options
seen here.
This is where
we could edit
our footage for
example using
the blur tool
Here we could
create
transitions
between clips
such as a fade or
a cut to black.
6. Here is one of our
scenes being placed into
the sequence
7. As well as editing our footage
in Premiere, we could also
add titles such as the name
“Sicarius” and also the
director and other titles to
help create the trailer.
Here you can see how we
added titles. There were
many editing decisions to
make with the titles such as
font size and style. We
eventually decided to have
black text on a white
background inspired by the
trailer of American Sniper.
