Now that our filming is complete it is time to edit. We are using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to complete this. At school we were shown how to use this programme and all of its effects. After getting used to it our editing it underway. It will be a long process I can now see and we will have to put time and effort into making it a successful film trailer, we will have to listen to people's opinions throughout to make sure we are on the right path to creating something that is easy to understand and draw people in.
1) Uploading the footage that you have shot altogether. Watch it and decide which parts are the best.
2) Create the title screens with the copy on them and put them at the start and where you would like them.
3) Look at the storyboard, and select the pieces of footage you want, drag them onto the time line. Using the cut and place tools you can alter the length and position of the footage.
4) Before completing the trailer we added in the music and moved some shots around so that it would fit the timing of the music.
