Editing

Decisions and Revisions of Teaser Trailer, Poster and magazine

Teaser Trailer
As a group, we revised the second filmed clips of the bathroom shots and realised from people's comments that it wasn't quite clear that we were trying to reveal each bruise and mark from a mid-shot of an unmarked woman. Some people said that it might be slightly confusing and so we had to think of how to acheive a shock without confusing the audience about what was truly happening. We then decided that it may be better and even more mysterious if we only showed the scars and marks on the body, revealing the entire woman's face at the very end of it all. because this would mean that we could make the main character even more mysterious, because it would only be a brief introduction and glimpse of what she looked like.

Magazine
We worked extremely hard on making the magazine as professional as it could be possibly be. We knew the importance of researching and noting the conventional layout of a usual film magazine fron cover and from the research, we knew that including as much infromation without making it look too overcrowded was vital when it came to presentation and audience appeal. From the magazine cover below we knew that we had to include elements such as taglines, titles, central images aswell as advertisments and information on upcoming films. We tried to keep the colour scheme simple and used a gradient which instantly made it proffessional looking with two different shades of colours.



Poster
It took a while for us to decide on the writing and font on the poster, however, we tried to compare it to other posters advertising movies of a dramatic genre. We made the main title the biggest piece of font on the poster so that the it would stand out to our target audience and so that they would remember the name. We also tried to make the date relatively visible to remind the audience of when the film would be shown. Used a domestic violence poster as an inspiration for our poster and also took the poster 'Enough' as an influence when it came to having the main victimised and vulnerable woman as the central image. To us, the image looked as if it was a police shot which gave a slight hint of the plot and storyline, but still left elemts of the film mysterious and rather shocking. This made our poster in our opinion, extremely effective and we feel that we have managed to fulfill our purpose.


Installing Copyright Free Music
We found our desired music on the website audio.lgfl, a site that allowed us to download copyright free music that we would place in our teaser trailer.
After much searching we finally dowloaded and saved the piece of music into our computer database so that when it came to opening Pinnacle, we were able to drag the music into the audio section and then edit it so that it sycronised with everything else. It took us quite a while to find appropriate music as we wanted something classical, orchestral and piano like, but we wanted it at a relatively slow and also at a nice, steady pace.
