Editing our film - part 1

Today we uploaded our film onto Pinnacle in order to edit what we had filmed the week before. After it was all uploaded we put the film shots we wanted to use onto the clip line and see how it would come together. We were worried that the teaser was too much narrative and not fitting the conventions of a teaser trailer, more a real trailer. Therefore we started editing the clips to make them shorter and less speech. This started to work really well as you cannot make out what is going to happen in the film but the audience would be able to have an idea. This will make audiences want to see the film as they do not know much about it but will build up an idea in their minds. We left the video for a while and moved onto transitions to make our film flow better. we added in fade in and outs to show that their is only little clips we are giving away of the film and that we are not prepared to show the film and give the narrative away, making watchers of the trailer to want to see the film. We saw this on many teaser trailers during our research e.g. Toy Story 3 so we know we are fitting the conventions of teaser trailers.
