Process of editing

 Creating Titles:

These screen-captures show part of the process of creating our titles throughout the trailer. We have incorporated multiple titles throughout to break apart the continuous story-like feel. The process of creating these titles wasn't too difficult for us and after watching the relevant online tutorials, we found it much easier to follow; through changing colour, font, and further adding transitions when fading the title in and out. Titles are significantly important in trailers and in generally any film as they are a way of audiences to engage with the film; this can be done my guiding them through, for example in the screenshot above the title we have used says "are the fears that we create". Recognisably, the collective pronoun 'we' is separate to the rest and the reason for this was that we were adding a special effect to it making it more prominent and this is because the pronoun is engaging the audience.....speaking collectively, as if they are part of the story. As shown in the second screen-capture, we were easily able to change the colour of the font and the software provided us with a range to choose from.

Timeline:

The screenshot here shows the timeline of our editing on the software. The timeline is separated into 4 different sections which are;
1. video
2.audio
3. narration
4. soundtrack

It is clear in the timeline how we have used the four different sections where overlapping videos, audio, narration and soundtrack. An area where we have particularly overlapped in this image is when adding titles and transitions over the video clips. The creation of titles in our trailer was a key focus as we had to incorporate multiple titles in order to break apart the continuous story-feel. Therefore it was important that we were able to bring in and overlap the titles at appropriate times throughout the editing process. Also with using this software, we are able to re-visit/re-add anything at any stage of the process if needed and this is often the case when creating film where the titles tend to be the last thing that are created/added.
 The reason for having these different sections is so that we can overlap and this is important in the creation of our trailer as we will be adding and overlapping many different titles but also getting sound from another source (due to barriers we faced throughout the filming process), meaning that we are able to place and edit the sound into the correct places.


Transitions and Effects:

The image on the right shows a section of the software which allows you to add transitions and image effects. Transitions are important to consider when adding in tiles; where it would be effective to, for example, fade in and fade out the title rather than just having it appear on the screen which is quite basic. There are multiple transitions that we are able to choose from, and a few that we thought would be effective and slightly conventional of our horror genre. For example, our first title that is introduced is one of the institutions named 'Robyn Productions'. When bringing in this title, we used the 'slash slide' transition which as suggested, it slashes up the text. This is an effective use of transition in our trailer as it this kind of affect proposes the idea of danger which is conventional of a horror.
