The Editing Process

Now that we have completed all of our filming, we now needed to edit the material to create our movie trailer. To do this we used the programme Adobe Premier Pro Cs4. At first this programme looked very complex and difficult to use, however with some help at school we were able to get to grips with it and start the editing process. Throughout this process we will listen to different opinions making sure that our trailer flows well and appeal to our target audience.


The editing process consists of:
1. Uploading every piece of footage we have filmed onto the programme by clicking file, then import, and then selecting the folder that contained our files of our footage .

Our files then appeared on the panel on the left hand side in the order that the footage was recorded .We then went through each piece of material and decide upon which scenes will be definately used in the final trailer.



One of the most important tools that we used while editing our footage was the Razor tool. This was used to cut up each piece of footage to allow to put in different effects such as flash effects for the gun, also this was used to create jump cuts, and finally this tool enabled us to shorten clips.


2. Use our storyboard and put the pieces of footage in order in the timeline.







3. By using the cut and place tools we are able to alter the length of each scene.

4. Importing the chosen background music, altering the pace of the song to ensure that the scenes would fit the timing of the beat of the music.
5. Importing created captions and placing them at specific places on the timeline where they would fit in well.

Editing techniques:
1. Flashes during/in between certain scenes
2. Cuts, jump cuts
