For the film trailer we decided to make an animated version of the map. This would include the name "Victorr Thistle" which would then spread out to go to each individual name that was created
Thsi video below helped me to create the effect of the moving letters. I used these techniques as shown but only on the singular letters rather than the whole word/name.

This is the final piece, we are unsure whether to use this in the final design of the film trailer:

Editing the footage
These past few days we have been moving our footage around. We have started to re-arrange the order of the clips according to our new script. We have inserted our new footage of the old, boarded up building in Wigan. The clips we have collected will be transitioned from one to the next using a fade (to black/white depending on the image). To do all of this we have use Premiere Pro.

The sounds that we have collected and created for our trailer such as the sound tracks backwards , heavy breathing, screaming, foot steps, doors slamming shut etc, are all successful. Yet we recorded the mother of one of the team members reading the reporter script. We thought that although her voice was good and fitted the part she did not have enough emotion and variety in her voice. We re-recorded this with another family member of the team and this now sounds much better.

To complete the trailer, we need to add the sound and preview screens/credits.

News Bulletin
For the beginning of our trailer, we where thinking of having a news bulletin. This was to allow the audience to be aware of the plot of the film, and allows the film to still be inviting for the audience and yet restricts what they will know about the film, leaving them wanting to watch the movie.
As most trailers now tell too much of the story, we are going to carefully plan out our sequences ensuring we don't reveal too much, but still leaving the audience itching to watch the film.
We have someone in mind for the role of the anchor woman (Molly's Auntie) who's voice could be suitable for the trailer.
To create the image, we created a new image in Photoshop. We styled the shapes into a style similar to BBC news, and made sure the background was transparent to make sure the video could be seen behind it. The evidence of what we did is below.

In order to add our own news bulletin we looked at the colours, shaping and overall use of existing news reports on TV. Here, we saw that the red was used to represent the urgency of the report. We took inspiration from this and used the influence of the representation within our own work.
