Second cut, with music.

This is the first time I had added music to the version of my trailer I find the most effective. I started with putting the heartbeat in first and altering the speed for different areas of the trailer; I did this so the heartbeat would add intensity to the trailer as the faster paced the trailer goes the faster the heartbeat music is.

Next I added in small areas of the cello, I only added this in small areas as I felt that would make it the most effective as it doesn't directly suit the feel of my individual trailer but more so the genre itself.

I am going to carry on experimenting with the music for my trailer as I do still feel that the cello isn't quite right and doesn't fit as well as I had initially had hoped it would. The next music I am going to try is something that sounds a bit more electric as it will have a faster pace to it.

Issues with filming new shots

After going into local charity shops to find toys that I could use in my extra shots I found that there weren't any that would look as effective as I would need, and would just make the wrong impact on my trailer so I am cutting that idea from the trailer.

I am however still going to film the shots of the images of Dom pinned to trees, I am also planning on burning the edges of some of them. Also I am still going to film shots of close up of words scratched into the trees.

Re-filming

Whilst I was looking through my second draft and have decided to re-film areas to make it look more sinister.

I am doing this re-filming tonight and the shots I am going to film are;

images of Dom stuck on trees (last one being a still from my previous footage)

close ups of words scratched into trees

creepy toys sat at bottom of trees.

Second cut of trailer

This is the second cut of my teaser trailer, with this one I haven't yet added any extra sound effects, but have kept the diegetic sound, this is in order to increase the tension within the trailer it makes the audience more connected with the main character as they are able to hear her panicking.

What I really like about this version and find effective is the transition effects I have used, I feel this works as it is very quick and also keeps the pace of the trailer very quick. Also I think using just little extracts of each shot and placing them in but broken up is effective as it shows a sense of confusion and urgency.

When I re-edit this version of the trailer, rather than re-start it like I did after my first version, I am just going to alter some shots. Next weekend I am re-filming shots, so there are more shots without my main character in it; yet are still related to her. The reason I am going to do this is because I feel my trailer still needs to feel more sinister and creepy and I believe this is the best way to achieve that goal.
