This toolbar shows some of the tools available to use in my trailer. Throughout the editing of my trailer I have used the 'colour balance' and 'colour correction' tool to brighten some shots that may be too dark to see; doing this makes the shots more visible and appealing. A few shots I have used the 'crop' tool to improve the framing of my shots. On each frame I have also included the 'stabilisation' tool to stabilise each shot, ensuring they're not shaky. Another tool I have used on every shot is the 'volume' tool. I have used this to mute all sound due to the fact I am having no dialogue in my trailer; I am planning on including non-diegetic music and narration. I have also used the 'speed' tool throughout my trailer to increase and decrease the speed and pace of each shot. The 'clip filter' tool has been used to add effects to the shots I consider important to highlight them from the rest of the shots within my trailer.
I used this high angle shot at the beginning of my film as it portrays the theme of the trailer. I have put this at a slow speed and put a sound effect to the movement of the girls going gymnastics to highlight their the fact gymnastics is the main theme. It shows 3 girls around the age of 13 which gives the audience an idea of how old the characters are and therefore gives an idea of what age and gender the target audience of this film/trailer is. I have also put an effect on this shot as I think this highlights its important of setting the scene.
The next shot used in my trailer is a close up of the protagonist. I thought it was important to have a shot like this at the beginning of the trailer to show the audience who the main protagonist is. I have included mies-en-scene of her happy at home; talking/laughing to show she is a normal, 13 year old girl with a happy life which enables the audience to relate with her.
Immediately after this I have included a tracking shot of the protagonist doing gymnastics; I have placed this after the close up of the protagonist to make it very clear to the audience that this is the protagonist, and to portray that she is good at and enjoys gymnastics.
I have included shots consisting off the main protagonist and her friends in different locations to convey they train at gymnastics together in addition to socialising at gymnastics and also them outside of the gym together to portray the fact these girls are also friends outside of gym. These shots are placed near each other within my trailer to convey their friendship to the audience.
I have separated this shot by using a cross dissolve transitions as I thought the duration of this shot was too long and therefore to make it more interesting and to fit in with the pace of the rest of the trailer, the shot needed to be edited in this way.
The range of shots used to show the protagonist falling off the beam and injuring herself have been edited by putting them in slow motion. This highlights the fall to convey the fact it is a key part of the trailer and film. It also reflects on the protagonists experience and feelings during this fall; the slow motion allows the audience to empathise with the protagonist. I have also used an effect on these shots to make them stand out from the rest to further show it is a key part. Another tool I have used is the 'audio effect' tool. I have included a 'muffled' audio effect on these shots during her fall as it further makes the series of shots stand out. It also portrays the situation as unreal for the protagonist and gives an insight of what the experience may have been like for her.
I have included this establishing shot near the end of my trailer which includes the sound of everyone cheering for the protagonist. This diegetic sound incorporated with the non-diegetic, dramatic music helps to covey the excitement of the protagonist overcoming her injury and doing gymnastics again. It highlights the support from all her friends which helps to portray everyone is proud of her.
I decided to include this shot at the end of the the trailer as it shows the protagonist, Alexis, looking proud of herself and what she has overcome. This suggests to the audience that the film has a positive outcome and also portrays the act the protagonist is back to her normal self. I have edited this by putting it in slow motion to make the shot stand out and to show the protagonists importance. I have also edited this by adding in a transition of a 'cross zoom' into the text caption of 'Alexis'. The transition allows for the audience to see a clear link between the face and name of the protagonist which makes it easier to relate with her. The text caption consists of the logo of my film. This increases the brand identity and creates house style and synergy between each of my products. The colour and font are clear and suit my demographic audience therefore contributing to their engagement of the trailer.
This is the main transition effect I have used throughout my trailer. I have included it between a lot of my shots as it improves the overall pace of my trailer and separates series of shots to give the audience a clear view.
