Making my trailer: 4

In the next stage of my trailer, I started by editing the music playing during the ‘You Can Run’ title. While it is still sloppy at the moment, I will fix it later.

Following this, there is another music cue – a wailing guitar sound. The sound is sharp, would work well with a quick motion-type shot, and connotes a siren (which would equal danger). The clip I used with this sound cue was a circle-pan of the girl. At normal speed the camera was shaky and jerky. However, after I sped it up to 250% its normal rate, the jerkiness was much more pronounced, making a very good effect. The circling motion of the footage fits with the ‘wailing’ sound cue very well, and the jerky motion continues the theme of disorientation and abnormality.

I also added the next title – ‘but you can’t hide’. Here it is so far:

Next I added another circle pan clip after the ‘But you can’t hide’ title:

I also cleaned up the cut in the audio during the ‘You can run’ title. It’s still a little rough, but I’m still happier with it. I also added the final few titles, including the ‘Welcome To The Playhouse’ and ‘Coming Soon’ ones.

The ‘Welcome To The Playhouse’ text was taken from the poster, and is the same design. I wanted to create a similarity between them, and make the ‘Welcome To The Playhouse’ text a type of logo for the film. The ‘Coming Soon’ text was also taken from the poster, and the ‘Skillfull Productions’ logos were those also used in the Trial Trailer.

I’m almost close to finnishing; here it is at the moment:

Finally, I faded out the music at the end of the trailer. This version is now posted separately, as it is the final version of my trailer. (Posted here.)
