LO4: Evidence of editing

 

This is me beginning to edit my film trailer using the software Adobe Premiere.  

This is my first screen shot of the programme software  Adobe Premiere and this is where I began to import my footage to begin to start editing the film trailer Silence Kills.

This is the first bit of footage that I have inserted in to Adobe Premiere. This was done by clicking on file then import then selecting on the folder where my footage was (Unit 46) and then opening the first piece of footage

This is where I began to import more of the footage and begin to edit the film trailer by dragging the footage and shortening it down to the amount of time that that shot should be. This was done by using the select tool as you can see was the tool I used to shorten the footage to the correct lengths.

This is where I began to import more of my footage and then begin to crop the footage using the razor tool to the size that would suit the music and so the footage would suit to the beat of the music. This was done to every shot I have edited. From the film trailers I have watched they seem to sometimes have a change in the music or the tempo changes which I have looked at some have fast some are slow depending on the film trailer. However because this was a thriller film trailer I started off the music slow and then built up the tempo to give the trailer a suspense. If I did not have the slow to fast tempo then this would not fit the genre and the audience would not be interested.

 

As you can see on this screenshot of the film trailer this shot is analysing in the background this is because I have used warp stabiliser to steady the shot because when looking back at the footage this looked to shaky so I added this to give the footage a better chance of being used in the film trailer. By using the effects control panel typing in the warp stabiliser and then dropping this on the clip I wanted it on and then wait until the rendering has finished and then the clip should be stabilised. I did this because with the film trailers I have looked at none of them have shots that were unstabilised so this is why I have put this affect in the film trailer  

        

 

What I am doing now is rendering all my clips and then making my first draft of the film trailer this will take a while because after every affect it has to render and this was done by simply hitting the enter on the keyboard. What i have learnt from doing this is that once I have dropped the clip in make sure that I render it straight away to save time doing this.  

From picking parts out of the film trailer from this screen recording what I have focused on in this is trimming down the music of the film trailer this was done by using the razor tool to separate parts of the track to put on different parts of the film trailer to give it suspense. If this trailer did not have any suspense this would not fit the genre because a thriller film has suspense and this did not so thios is why I have included splitting of tracks to build the tension.
