More Editing

After filming some more clips we had to edit the trailer even further. During this process we filled up the gaps in the trailer and added some more complicated parts that were interesting to edit. We decided to fill the gaps so that the trailer looked complete and more professional. Also we wanted the trailer to be full of different clips from different settings. Therefore we filmed in school. This came out quite effectively because there are now a lot more settings and types of shot in our trailer. I think the shots we filmed make our trailer even more successful. I particularly like the shot of megan looking at the chess piece. This not only is a close up which is something we haven't used a lot of, but it shows a strong connection to the name of our trailer. This was the reason we took this shot in particular. I think it works quite well because she looks like she is intrigued by the chess piece and this also adds mystery to the trailer. One of the final things we decided to change in our trailer was the ending. We had to include a date for the film, the title and the billing board. We had to include these because they are essential for all trailers. I am glad that we added these in at the end because this is conventional of a trailer. When looking at other trailers I have seen that they put the title of the film at the end. Therefore this is where we placed the title of our film. I think this works well because it makes the trailer look more professional and it means that the people watching the trailer will know the name of the film which is very important. Also, we added some more writing at the end of our trailer that says 'How will you play?'. We added this because we wanted to create an interesting piece of writing which would engage the audience and keep them wondering about what the film would include. We added very short clips of the chess piece in between each word. We chose to do this because it is a more complicated piece of editing which we thought would make the trailer more interesting to watch. I think that using this writing works well with the trailer because it shows that we have edited in varied ways and also adds tension to our trailer.
