Editing Begins

We have now watched all of the clips we have taken and decided that there are certain parts that we would really like to re film as there are aspects of the footage such as lighting that doesn't tie in with the setting. I think if we don't have time to re film parts it will affect our film because it may appear that we haven't paid attention to details but we know as group that we still have a lot of work to do and feel that we only will take action on this if we have time towards the end of the project. We have also noticed that our music doesn't fit with our film and we feel that there is too many beats and different sounds. We have decided that this doesn't work well with the footage we have edited so far so we are going to change this when we have more edited clips so it fits in better with the change of scenes and different moods trying to be created as we want the music to build up tension as the trailer goes on.
We have had to cut many of our clips because they are too long and we don't want our audience to feel like that are watching a short film instead of a trailer. We have also decided to cut some clips up and use the different parts during different sections of the trailer as they still tie in and make sense. I think this works in our trailer because it helps build the pressure and tension. It also contributes to the conventions of a trailer as we want to give the audience some information but not too much and also from our research we have realised that the clips don't have run chronologically. We have also found that we have added fade in fade out transitions to help the trailer run smoothly and help the flow of the different clips playing with each other. We are planning to use a spilt screen for a part of the trailer but we haven't developed that far into our footage yet. When we first watched our clips we felt that we hadn't filmed enough and I do think this is true in some aspects as I think we could have a larger variety of angles and shots such as more close ups as I think this will help us make the trailer quicker as we would have more clips to choose from. However, after editing some we feel better about our footage and we think that we are going to be able to work well with what we have.
