Trailer- Feedback Improvements(Editing)

The first improvement that we made, taken from the feedback, was to ensure that all text on screen remained the same or very similar throughout so that the continuity flowed better. We were also able to cut down the fight seen, as being so long in the first cut, it took away some excitement and tension that we would have liked the trailers disruption in the middle to have.

The first two screenshots above, show the text that we will now be using throughout to make sure that all the clips look similar, and therefore keep the continuity. We also added a filter to the shot of the four actors walking away, as black and white makes in look darker, upholding the genre conventions. 

After the feedback we were given; we decided to swap software from Serif Movie to IMovie. This is due to the fact that IMovie has a wider range of editing features, which will allow us to create a more professional looking trailer, due to more transitions, and more text features. 

Trailer- First Draft Feedback

Hitting the halfway mark in our coursework, we showed our peers what we had produced so far so that we could get some feedback on what is good and what needs improving.

First off all, we were told that our non-diegetic asynchronous sound and lighting used fit very well with our piece; it helped to emphasise the genre and to create tension. We also used a proficient variety of shots to connote different feelings and emotions. The mise en scene used was excellent, props were placed appropriately and the overall trailer was given a Mid Band 3(B Grade)

Points of improvement that we were given was to change some of the fonts used for text throughout so that it matched, to help the continuity flow. It was also said that we should cut down the fight scene a little as it was too long, and therefore the tension began to decrease.
