Editing

This is by far the most time consuming section of the whole project. This is because we have to look at all the footage we shot and pick out the best pieces to go into our final film trailer.

After filming all of the footage that we required, we uploaded all of the footage from the video camera onto the media department's iMacs. We are using a program called Adobe Premiere Pro to edit all of our footage. This is a very technical piece of software and allows us to place lighting effects and different transitions between each shot, such as a crossfade and fade to black. The main part of the editing process is cutting a placing all the shots we need, we did this with the "razor" tool on the program. This allows us to cut out what we didn't need and edit the shots that we wanted in our final trailer. Using the software we added our soundtrack and made sure that it was all in time with the shot transition using the select tool. We then created our own title shots with a sentence about the film on each one. We did this by using the built in title editor to choose the colour of our background and the colour, font and general style of the text. We then placed our chosen shot transition effect, dip to black, on a majority of our shots to make the trailer flow smoothly.
