CONSTRUCTION: EDITING

Yesterday, my group and I continued to edit our film trailer. We played around with the colour in a few scenes. Making the scene look slightly more blue gives it that slightly more cold and eerie feel to the trailer.

We also edited some footage we had already previously filmed. When coming up with the idea of our film trailer we decided that the scene of Sydney's death would be several photos - each with a slight progression of the death. That is exactly what we did in yesterdays lesson.

Below is a quick recording of the death scene

Here is a photo collage I made, showing our editing in progress.

Whilst we were editing in the lesson, I was doing some extra research on how other film trailers edited their footage. I ended up watching a few trailers, but I did in particular like the 'Taken' trailer.

Below are some screenshots of the trailer. The editing here is what caught my attention and I thought my group and I could in some way incorporate this into our own trailer.

As you can see from the screenshots above, the colour of 2 of the scenes have turned into an x-ray sort of colour. This is only shown for a split second and is incredibly fast when watching the trailer, however I really like the use of this technique as it keeps the audience interested.
