Task 18: Editing Process

Editing Process

Fade to colour:

We used the Fade to Colour transition to join scenes and make them flow seamlessly. These fades created a more dramatic effect, and gave the audience more time to take in what was happening in the scenes. These fades created a time lapse, showing a series of events quickly to create a narrative. 

It also created a typical 'romantic drama' effect, as these fades are typically used in romance and drama trailers. 

Fading out music:

As we are using two songs in our trailer we needed to fade them out smoothly so that it doesn't sound awkward or have a silent gap. We decided to fade out The Hunger Games instrumental song before the flashback clips. We did this by cutting the sound by using the blade tool, then lowering the volume on each small sound clip. Then we added the Keane song, 'Bedshaped' underneath the faded out song, making them flow seamlessly into each other.

Editing sound:

We edited the sound of the clip when Bella and her mum are in the kitchen, we wanted to make this clip very emotional therefore we cut the sound out of the end of the clip. By cutting the sound it created a tense and emotional atmosphere and you can just hear the music.  

Opening logo:

We created an opening logo a while ago therefore it was easy to import into our trailer. We added some text on top to create our name, 'BreakFocus', this text fades in and out creating a smooth transition.
