Production for Trailer

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
