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.

New voice recordings

The other voice recordings we had of the news report weren't all suitable for the trailer, so after a discussion with the group, I decided to take home a voice recorder and try to recreate the recordings, in the style of a news report. I used the same script as previously, but a different person, so we had more choice of recordings when we came to editing the trailer.

New Photoshoot

To enable us to create the magazine and poster, we needed new pictures. Involving full body shots of Taylor and Joe. The contact sheet of images from this shoot are below:
