Today we continued to edit our footage. It is coming along really well and my group and I are so happy with what we have achieved so far.
We managed to get an ima
ge from the internet which is the movie certificate title that appears at the beginning of most trailers. We found a 'rated R' which was really lucky because it suits our movie as it means resstricted and our film is scary and would therefore be restricted viewing.

We also put the 'Lionsgate' image after this age certificate title to 
make our trailer look more realstic as if a film company had made the film. We chose 'Liongate' because they have made films such the 'Saw' movies and 'The Last Exorcism'. These films fit our genre so therefore we thought Lionsgate would be an appropriate film company to use. There was a red version of this 'Lionsgate' logo but we chose to use the grey and white coloured version because it fitted the look of our trailer as we had used greyish and dim colours.

This time included title sequences, the age restriction and Lionsgate titles and a 'coming soon' title clip at the end.
Today we started to put in transitions and played around the speed of some of the clips. We slowed down the clip of the lock on the door and the clip of one of the actresses looking worried. We thought this would make it seem more tense and eery. Without doing the music yet, we showed our lecturer to see what he thought of what we had done so far and whether he thought it flowed nicely. Once we had showed him, our lecturer said he didn't think the slowed down parts worked very well because they were a bit too slow. He also said that we needed to add in a few more transitions because it cuts from a well lit scene to a very dark scene with no transition so it didn't look very professional. Taking these comments on board, we added in some transitions and changed the speed back so it wasn't as fast as it was originally but wasn't as slow as we had changed it to first. It is looking a lot better.
We started looking at the sound clips that were already on the iMovie software to see if it offered anything that would suit our trailer. We managed to find an ambient noise which sounded a bit sinister and eery. We have used this sound clip over our text slides during the trailer.
Our next step is to add in more music and take out any of the unwanted noises such as talking in the background. We need to find more dramatic music to use during the main body of the trailer to build suspense and attract the audience. We also want to find a scream noise to put over the 'coming soon' title at the end to finish the trailer off nicely.
