Editing the trailer

Once all of the footage was taken it was ready to upload onto iMovie...

You will see highlighted in the red box, where all of the shots are stored on iMovie. As I gave Sophie all of the shots to take, she came back with several to chose from and my next job was to course through all of them and chose the best ones for our trailer out of the ones that I was given.





The next step was to start organising the shots in a timeline that we had arranged...

The red box shows where the clips have been organised in the order of our transcript, cut to the length of time that was said in our planning.








Once that was finished it was then time to add in transitions...

You will see that once I had opened all of the transition choices, I had to look for the ones that we had planned during the revised storyboard. Once chosen I had to drag and drop the transition in between the two desired clips.






The only thing left to do now was arrange the audio to suit the storyline of the trailer...

At the bottom of the timeline is the music for the trailer which is played all throughout the trailer. So when I dragged and dropped the sound clip below the footage, it was then time to softened/quiet down the parts when a character was speaking.

I detached most of the audio from the clips to place them were I wanted and made most of them soft towards the beginning and the end of the clips so that the trailer flowed smoothly all together.
