Trailer Production - Putting it all together

Film Trailer Soundtrack(s) Chosen

This is where REAL editing takes place as we now have structured the exposition/opening of the trailer. It was hard to edit without a soundtrack as non diegetic music would create an atmosphere and impact but also help to put place shots taken as this would be synchronised with the sound for more meaning.

Thanks to the efforts of Daniel and our music maestro Lizzie, tracks that linked to our genre of Police Crime Thriller films were found.We mixed many tracks instead of just a single track  for different parts of the trailer. The Mechanolith track was put over the build-up and plot of our trailer - adding the right bounce and suspense to what is needed. An untitled track will be used for the action sequences of our trailer with it's melody and drive to, when the volume is lifted slightly, carrying the fast-paced running shots we'll have at the climax.

We're plan to use Dense Macabre - Low Strings Finale/denouement from incompetech.com (website) for the final stages of the trailer, probably timed with some titles and the film's name. Now that we've got the footage and the soundtracks, we can finally get things put together properly. As a team we are really pleased with the music found and glad as the patience while searching was worth it.

Showcase Day

What went well?

• the way we had the same shot from different angles
• variety of shots from different angles
• cutaways as an addition

Even Better if

• the bed scene were to be adjusted - brightening
• mise-en-scene such as a police badge to the sequence 

These comments are very helpful as we have some time to improve on what we have and make a more professional trailer product that fits spectator expectations of the genre

Company Logo Production

Daniel with his advanced skills in Adobe AfterEffects had created a production company logo which took about 20 hours to render, since this was made from just a conceptual idea to a actual opener for our trailer makes it an achievement in itself as frame by frame it's quality was assured to make it look like what it is now.
