Editing: Day 1


Today was the start of the editing process and I would spend this first day looking through our footage and beginning to piece the initial stages of the trailer together. Our time spent filming was very productive and we were able to get a wide variety of shots of different characters in a wide range of locations. One of our definite targets for the trailer was starting the trailer off slow and building up to a faster pace which would maximise the intensity and therefore create a lot more suspense and tension for the audience.
The first part our trailer would be a meeting between a crime boss and an assassin in a park. When editing this part of the trailer I had to make sure I had applied the 180 degree rule to ensure continuity and professionalism. One hard point of this part was finding the right pieces of footage that matched well together and as there was so many pieces of footage of this particular scene it was time consuming. Sound in this part of the trailer was minimal and I had only included some Foley sound effects which were included as the main character walks into the first character shot. I will probably include some music which will help set the mysterious atmosphere we want to create with this trailer.
