Editing

Once myself and Ferne had all our footage together, we began refining and deciding what footage we felt was appropriate and effective for our trailer. When myself and Ferne first designed our storyboard we were very ambitious in our ideas, but due to technical limitations we have altered how we want our trailer to look so that it still looks effective. If we had followed our storyboard precisisly our trailer would have been too long and therefore would not have been a teaser. We feel that for our plot we needed to speed up our trailer to make it more impacting and effective and to capture our target audiences attention quicker. We have therefore decided that the images of Sophie in distress should take up the majority of our trailer, cut up with still photos of her as well, as we felt these are impacting and build tension and will shock our audience. By cutting out the love scene that comes after the phone call to Sophies father, and jumping straight to the horrific images, it disorentates the audience and leaves them in the fear of the unknown. These images and footage also clearly reflect our choosen genre. We have manipulated the images to make them green, this colour connotes an eiry atmosphere, it also reflects possible night vision shots which is closely associated with fear. This colour sharply contrasts with the rest of the trailer, which also works effectively with the quick cut transitions. We have removed the caption, 'How far would you go to save someone you loved?', as we felt that by using three captions we were defeatinng the impact that the previous two give. As we have previously removed the scene where Sophie's sister comes to save her the caption does not make sense or have relevance.
